Alarm Clock for Home Assistant

In the quest for a perfect Alarm Clock, I'm getting closer, thanks to home assistant.

This card was designed for a tablet which I use on my nightstand with a resolution of 1280px on 800px. The idea is to have a really minimalistic, readable clock with some Home Assistant love.

Screenshots love...

Note:

This card is still in beta and it scratches my own itch. No support/guarantees/.... It may eat your dog or the alarm may not go off and you can thus miss a date with the love of your live, ...
I tried to solve the alarm in the backend using timers, ... but did not succeed due to some outstanding bugs. So, this means that the logic to fire the alarm is in the frontend. If you close your browser, it will not go off. But, since it was designed for an always on tablet (for me a Nexus 7 2013 which is always running and has this constantly open), it appears to work

Features

User interface

The card exists out of two parts:

the clock part (65%) of the height of the screen with:
- the clock of course
- the options to setup alarms
- the option to override/update the next alarm
- a nap timer option
the lower part (35%) of the height of the screen which:
- can show up to 3 other home-assistant cards
- shows the snooze and dismiss button when the alarm is ringing

Alarm - and PreAlarm options

You can define multiple entities that will turn on when the alarm goes off, including lights, input_booleans, scripts and media_players. Configuration is as follows:

  ...
  alarm_entities:
    - entity_id: input_boolean.alarm_clock
    - entity_id: media_player.gpm_desktop_player
  ...

You can also specify pre-alarm options, think off having your Philips Hue light slowly starting an half hour before the alarm. Configuration is as follows:

  ...
  scripts:
    - entity: script.start_lights_bedroom_slowly
      when: '-00:30'
    - entity: light.bathroom
      when: on_dismiss
      service: light.turn_on # not necessary as default is homeassistant.turn_on
  ...

Holiday integration

But wait, that's not all! It also integrates with:

a holiday calendar so that when you have a holiday the next day, your alarm will automatically disable.
the workday sensor so that when you have a holiday the next day, your alarm will automatically disable.
