Sunrise alarm clock

Hello im pretty new to HA but I basically wanna make a sunrise alarm clock using my smart bulbs that syncs with my alarm clock on my iphone.

thanks in advance

The HA app for iOS doesn’t support a “next alarm” sensor (unlike Android). You’d have to create a shortcut on your phone that will push the alarm time to your HA instance every time you open up the alarm app.

Here is a thread in the forums:

So I added it but it seems to not update HA enityt

I haven’t used that shortcut but did you confirm all the input helpers you created matched the names of the entities referenced in the shortcut?

This entity ('sensor.first_alarm') does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail.

Nvm seems like I had to remake my alarm for it to work

Oh it doesn’t seem to take anything on sleep schedule

Any recommendations on sunrise blueprint?

I don’t use blueprints either 😅

But this seems like it would do the trick:

It works but the issue is that the alarm clock starts the blueprint so I need something that basically adds -30min or something to the timer. Else I have to set a clock manually

Can I make a entity that basically takes Alarm then converts it to alarm-30?

Yes you can create a helper from the UI. From integrations -> helpers -> template -> template a sensor

Make sure to set the device class to “timestamp”. Use this for the code, changing the source sensor entity name to whatever yours is:
{{ states('sensor.next_alarm_time') - timedelta(minutes=30) }}

Alternatively you might be able to take control of the blueprint so that you can edit the automation, and simply add an offset to the trigger

Yeah I accessed the blueprint immideatly and learned alot 🙂

How can I convert the right one to look like the left one?

Left one was added to the conf manually

"template:

• sensor:
  • name: "Alarm set"
    state: "{{ states('input_boolean.alarm_example') }}"
• sensor:
  • name: "First alarm"
    state: "{{ state_attr('input_datetime.first_alarm_example', 'timestamp') | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', None) }}"
• sensor:
  • name: "Last alarm"
    state: "{{ state_attr('input_datetime.last_alarm_example', 'timestamp') | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', None) }}""

Or mayeb its a good idea to be able to change it manually

The ones on the left are template sensors. The ones on the right are input datetime helpers
