Using Alarm States to turn on Lights

[T3SSERACT2]

Hi,
I'm totally new to the world of Home Assistant automations and am wondering if there is a way for me to take the state outputted by this integration to trigger an automation to turn on lights either when the alarm is ringing or a few minutes before it.

When I tested it, the sensor counts down to the alarm ringing but the state never actually changes to "ringing"

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Yes, it should be totally possible, @T3SSERACT2 :)
I am running this automation blueprint with a config like that for example

- id: '1616699223824'
  alias: Wake-up light alarm with sunrise effect
  description: ''
  use_blueprint:
    path: sbyx/wake-up-light-alarm-with-sunrise-effect.yaml
    input:
      manual_time: '7:00:00'
      light_entity: light.bedroom_lights
      timestamp_sensor: sensor.bedroom_speaker_alarms
      sunrise_duration: 20
      post_sunrise_actions:
      - scene: scene.active

where the timestamp_sensor is my Google Home alarm entity :)
