Anyone know of an alarm that is aware of the sunrise times, the temperature and weather? I have found different ones with one of these but none with all.
I want to wake up at sunrise if it's 60 and above and not rainy, otherwise, cancel the alarm.

I want that, too……though I wakeup ahead of my alarm half the time anyway (I’m old).
You can go to your weather app and see what time sunrises and you can set the alarm for that time.
Yeah but that would be a steady shift. I get the tracking aspect because that's just something else you could automate.
No alarm. Just let the sun itself shine onto your closed eyelids
What kind of phone do you use? I'm not a fan of them or suggesting it, but iphones have if/then algos you can create within siri that would do exactly this. Not sure about androids.
Just checked on my iPhone and this looks feasible using the shortcuts app, on Android maybe you could use a similar app like IFTTT (and have it toggle the alarm based on current weather)
Totally doable with Home Assistant. You can use your phone, a smart speaker (Alexa/Google), a DIY ESP32 buzzer, or even a smart light as the alarm. Just create an automation that checks sunrise time, weather, and temp (60°F+ and not rainy), then triggers the alarm device. Clean, flexible, and nerd-approved.
Does that require hosting that server?
Yes. But it's easy. Do you have smart devices in your home? If so, then I recommend getting yourself a Raspberry Pi and runnimg Home Assistant. I can see you want to do some crazy automations and there isnt a better platform as of now. You can run it inside a Virtual Machime if you have an always on computer. But it's beat on a Pi.
I know I can do it, but I'm not doing it lol.
Its on my backlog to package it up for start9.I don't like self hosting stuff that I don't think other people who are non technical can run.
