The problem

Hi HA community,

after I update the system to the recent version the slamic Prayer Times sensor stop working. it seems the new update time template is not compatiable with the integration. see below log

Hey there @phracturedblue, @tetienne, @home-assistant/core, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (template) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

Looking at the template you are using I think you can change it to something like "{{ as_timestamp(states("sensor.sunrise_time")) }}" which will give you the timestamp directly. Also if you are comparing it to current time you can directly use " {{ as_timestamp(now()) }}. You also need to make sure the sensors have a valid state as the error log indicates that the state was 'unknown' when the error happened.

[tdejneka]

Instead of a Template Trigger, use a Time Trigger. The sensor's time format is ideal for use in a Time Trigger.

trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: sensor.dhuhr_prayer

Thanks @engrbm87 @tdejneka , I tried both fix but it didnt work. If look at the log the problem with time format I think the python verson in Home assistant got updated and the new version didn't like the time format. (time data 'unknown' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')

can i change the python version ?

[sator86]

hello all, I have exactly the same issue, if someone can give us the solution :) thank you

[tdejneka]

I tried both fix but it didnt work

Then you're doing something wrong because this issue has nothing to do with python version. I tested what I suggested and it does work.

Regarding this:

(time data 'unknown' does not match format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')

It received a time value of unknown. I don't know what you did to make it produce that value but it will definitely fail to be converted by strptime. Possibly because you don't have an entity named sensor.time_date yet it's referenced in your template.

[tdejneka]

if someone can give us the solution

Two solutions have been posted. Which one did you try?

[tdejneka]

I believe this Issue isn't due to a bug in the Islamic Prayer integration or with any bug in the Jinja2 template processor. This is simply due to the use of outdated templates for processing the sensor values produced by the integration. This belongs as a question in the community forum, not as a bug report here on GitHub.

Instead of a Template Trigger, use a Time Trigger. The sensor's time format is ideal for use in a Time Trigger.

trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: sensor.dhuhr_prayer

Thanks @tdejneka , it worked now i was do it wrong. but i have question now. I have another automation that uses the prayer time sensor but it will trigger 15 min before the time occur and it will play mp3 file to remind us that the prayer time is near.

with platform: time at: *** i only can use delay. how i can use the opposite ?

[CRCbary]

hello all, I have exactly the same issue, if someone can give us the solution :) thank you

I will tackel the prayer reminder issue and share with you the full code

@CRCbary

The question about how to offset the prayer time has been already been asked by others, and answered, in the community forum.

Hi tdejneka, Can you post the whole time trigger for all the prayer times? Thanks in advance

[sator86]

hello thank you for your response I did the same with the sensor, and it's Work, as you told it, the issue is coming from the template, not from Islamic prayer plugin thank you very much for your help, I appreciate have a nice day

[tdejneka]

Can you post the whole time trigger for all the prayer times?

There's an example in the community forum:

Automation.yaml file extract for Adan using Platform as Time instead of Template - This fixed my issue as well. Thank you.
