9 O'clock on a Saturday automation - A little fun thanks to Music Assistant

[dacmcbibs]

I decided to have a bit of fun with Music Assistant using the automation below. It triggers at 8:59:29 (AM and PM) on Saturday playing Billy Joel's Piano Man with the sound muted. This times the line "It's 9 O'Clock on a Saturday" to closely align with when its actually 9:00 (the line occurs ~30 seconds in to the song). At that point the automation turns the volume up so that the line can be heard, and then after the speaker plays the line it stops the play back.

I was having trouble getting things to start muted so it currently calls media_player.volume_mute and media_player.volume_set to 0 , which is probably both redundant and not necessary

Thanks. If you could edit this and highlight all the yaml and press the <> button that will make it easier to read.
