Automating Prayer Times

Automating Prayer Times

One of the most valuable benefits of domotics for a Muslim: never missing a prayer again. By integrating Salat times into Home Assistant, you automate alerts, lights, and the Adhan.

Muslim Calendar Integration

The Muslim Calendar plugin for Home Assistant is the recommended solution. Installable via HACS, it offers:

  • 100% local calculation (no external API calls)
  • 15 calculation methods (Umm Al-Qura, MWL, Egypt, etc.)
  • Support for all prayer times including Asr and Isha
  • Jumuah (Friday) prayer reminder

Automation Ideas

  • Lights dim automatically 15 min before Adhan
  • Adhan plays through speakers at each prayer time
  • Phone notification for each prayer
  • Special Ramadan schedule with Suhoor alert
