Automations

Use final *_azan entities for Azan automations. The example below creates a generic notification at Fajr without assuming a speaker, phone, or other device:

automation:
  - alias: Fajr Azan notification
    trigger:
      - platform: template
        value_template: >-
          {{ now().strftime('%H:%M') == states('sensor.prayer_fajr_azan') }}
    action:
      - service: persistent_notification.create
        data:
          title: Fajr
          message: It is time for Fajr.

Template triggers using now() evaluate once per minute. Ensure Home Assistant and the API request use the same timezone. The API returns bare HH:MM values, so avoid adjustments that cross midnight for this time-only automation pattern.
