It's been written by a self_admitted noob at integrations, but it effortlessly pulls in all data from my Sleep As Android alarm clock and even introduced me to features of the app I didn't know existed, and I've been using it for years.

By following his instructions (I skipped the watch bit) Home Assistant now know when I'm sleeping and awake.

I've been considering some kind of bed load esp board for a while but now I don't have to. I know when I fell asleep last night and even when I was snoring.

More importantly, Home Assistant knows these things and I can now have a more reliable Good Night automation that knows when I'm sleeping, even when I get kicked out of bed and have to sofa sleep.

That was the idea! I came across it looking for something else. I've been using a blueprint for a while (since you haven't even looked yet) that will pull when the alarm is sounding and snoozed and such.

I have moved back to Node Red and made it myself there now though. What I use it for is I set the alarm to ramp up volume after 3 minutes, but the alarm also triggers my lights turning on.

Since the lights usually wake me up I usually have a silent alarm clock, meaning I don't wake The Wife at 5am when I get up for work.

My son heard about it so now he also wakes up to the lights coming on.

You can use that to start your morning automations if you're so inclined, so when your alarm goes off and the Kitchen motion sensor is triggered for your morning cup of Joe, you can fire your morning reminders and traffic info
