Home assistant is a great tool to automate your house. As we have recently move to our own apartment I wanted to integrate the muslim prayer times in Home assistant so that I could get automatic reminders when it is time to pray.
Unfortunatly, the official integration for these prayer times does not support Diyanet (Turkey) Ezan times. Additionally, all integrations or API’s that do provide times based on the Diyanet calculation method always seemed to give slightly different times than the ones I get when looking it up on the official website.
originally I wrote this guide to scrape the data from the original website. But the diyanet website currently blocks this method. The scrape sensor is therefore not recommended. Furkan Tektas created an API that shows the same exact times as the official diyanet website.
If you have any questions or issues with the Diyanet Ezan integration in Home Assistant, please feel free to send me an email. My email address can be found on my website. Thank you for your interest in this project!
For this to work we need to get the diyanet prayer times from: https://ezanvakti.herokuapp.com. You will have to change the number in the end of the url (see below) to match your local city. You can find this number via the https://namazvakitleri.diyanet.gov.tr/. Change the country and city. The number in the URL can be used to change the script below:
Configuration.yaml :
rest: method: GET scan_interval: 172800 resource: "https://ezanvakti.herokuapp.com/vakitler/13978" sensor: - name: Imsak value_template: >- {% for entry in value_json %} {% if entry.MiladiTarihKisa == now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y') %} {{ entry.Imsak }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} - name: Ogle value_template: >- {% for entry in value_json %} {% if entry.MiladiTarihKisa == now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y') %} {{ entry.Ogle }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} - name: Ikindi value_template: >- {% for entry in value_json %} {% if entry.MiladiTarihKisa == now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y') %} {{ entry.Ikindi }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} - name: Aksam value_template: >- {% for entry in value_json %} {% if entry.MiladiTarihKisa == now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y') %} {{ entry.Aksam }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} - name: Yatsi value_template: >- {% for entry in value_json %} {% if entry.MiladiTarihKisa == now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y') %} {{ entry.Yatsi }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} - name: hicri value_template: >- {% for entry in value_json %} {% if entry.MiladiTarihKisa == now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y') %} {{ entry.HicriTarihUzun }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} - name: Gunes value_template: >- {% for entry in value_json %} {% if entry.MiladiTarihKisa == now().strftime('%d.%m.%Y') %} {{ entry.Gunes }} {% endif %} {% endfor %}
The scan_interval is set to 48 hours. You do not have to change this as the API shows the times for the complete month.
The above snipped will create a couple of sensors (sensor.imsak etc) that display HH:MM timestamp for each prayer. As the API returns data for the complete month we need to match the day of the month with the data returned from the API. This is done in the value template.
Use below code to check if the data returned by the sensors created in above code matches the current time:
- platform: template sensors: imsak_vakti: friendly_name: İmsak Vakti value_template: "{{ states('sensor.imsak') == states('sensor.time') }}" - platform: template sensors: gunes_vakti: friendly_name: Güneş Vakti value_template: >- {%- set time = today_at(states('sensor.gunes')) %} {%- set delta = timedelta(minutes=35) %} {%- set start = time - delta if time > today_at('00:00') + delta else time + timedelta(days=1) - delta %} {%- set end = time + timedelta(days=1) if time <= today_at('00:00') + delta and not today_at('00:00') <= now() <= time else time %} {{ start <= now() <= end }} - platform: template sensors: ogle_namazi: friendly_name: Öğle Vakti value_template: "{{ states('sensor.ogle') == states('sensor.time') }}" - platform: template sensors: ikindi_namazi: friendly_name: İkindi Vakti value_template: "{{ states('sensor.ikindi') == states('sensor.time') }}" - platform: template sensors: aksam_namazi: friendly_name: Akşam Vakti value_template: "{{ states('sensor.aksam') == states('sensor.time') }}" - platform: template sensors: yatsi_namazi: friendly_name: Yatsı Vakti value_template: "{{ states('sensor.yatsi') == states('sensor.time') }}" - platform: template sensors: sahur_vakti: friendly_name: Sahur Vakti value_template: >- {%- set time = today_at(states('sensor.imsak')) %} {%- set delta = timedelta(minutes=40) %} {%- set start = time - delta if time > today_at('00:00') + delta else time + timedelta(days=1) - delta %} {%- set end = time + timedelta(days=1) if time <= today_at('00:00') + delta and not today_at('00:00') <= now() <= time else time %} {{ start <= now() <= end }} - platform: template sensors: namaz_time_remaing: friendly_name: Namaz time remaining value_template: >- {%- set ct = today_at(states('sensor.next_prayer')) %} {{ '00:00' if now() > ct else (ct - now()).total_seconds() | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', false) }} - platform: template sensors: ramadan: friendly_name: Ramadan value_template: >- {% if 'Ramazan' in states('sensor.hicri') %} True {% else %} False {% endif %} - platform: template sensors: next_prayer: friendly_name: Next Prayer value_template: >- {% set state = states('sensor.time') %} {% if '00:00' <= state < states('sensor.imsak') %} {{ states('sensor.imsak') }} {% elif states('sensor.imsak') <= state < states('sensor.gunes') %} {{ states('sensor.gunes') }} {% elif states('sensor.gunes') <= state < states('sensor.ogle') %} {{ states('sensor.ogle') }} {% elif states('sensor.ogle') <= state < states('sensor.ikindi') %} {{ states('sensor.ikindi') }} {% elif states('sensor.ikindi') <= state < states('sensor.aksam') %} {{ states('sensor.aksam') }} {% elif states('sensor.aksam') <= state < states('sensor.yatsi') %} {{ states('sensor.yatsi') }} {% elif states('sensor.yatsi') <= state < '23:59' %} {{ states('sensor.imsak') }} {% endif %}
As stated previously the above code checks if the time now matches the time we got from the API. If this is true the sensor created will return true. This happens for each prayer. For the morning prayer I make the sensor trigger 35 minutes before the sunrise time (gunes). Additionally above creates:
- Sensor for ramadan: to check if it is ramadan
- Sensor for sahur, to wake you up 40 minutes before it is imsak time
- Sensor to return the next prayer time (sensor “Next prayer”) so it displays the HH:MM time of the next prayer.
- Sensor to return the time remaining to next prayer
You can use all kinds of automations, note that I make use of a boolean (you can make it via the UI, search and you will find) to be able to disable all of these automations. As sometimes it is not really desirable to have my speakers making sound:
My personal Namaz automation, I recommend to host all media files locally. Otherwise it is not always reliable. Below is a WIP as I change things from time to time. Use it as insipration. You most likely cannot copy paste this for your own setup. At the very least the name of your speakers will be different. And, I assume your name is not Salih ;)

For The front end I created this card to show the correct times. It uses the mushroom-shadow theme and some specific styling.
At the very least you need to have the mushroom theme and card_mod,stack-in-card and layout-card installed
