Trigger automation 15 minutes before Alexa alarm. (kbin.social)

I'm trying to improve my morning routines with Home Assistant. I have a set of Eve Motionblinds connected to Home Assistant, along with my Sonos with Alexa.

My goal is to set an alarm with Alexa, and have the Eve Motionblines raise 15-20m before the alarm goes off as a sort of sunrise alarm clock.

I've looked through the docs, but I can't figure out any way to make something like this happen. Anyone have any ideas?

My initial thought would be to go about it the other way, trigger the alarm 15 minutes after the blinds. That would probably be easier.

But that means that you need to redo/rethink and let the blinds be the "alarm" instead.

Otherwise you would have to parse the alarm settings for each day to get the unique (if you jag different times for different days which I am assuming you do) alarm time for that specific day if that even is possible.

I turn on and off my Sonos alarms from within Home assistant but have never thought if it's possible to read the specific time to HA.
