night urchin
Hey, I've checked the Forum for a bit of time but haven't found quite what I'm looking for.
I was wondering if there is a blueprint or recommendation that would allow me to turn on an entity at a moments notice but then specify how long it should be on for such as 1 hour before it turns off?
To be clear I don't want it to turn on at certain time(s), I want to just press a button that says turn on, perhaps for example a helper that then allows me to say how long for then it actions this request.

that's a pretty easy automation to set up
you'll need an input button and an input datetime with time&date enabled

A really quick and dirty automation to handle it that just sees if it's been on for an hour and turns it off. This could be enhanced a lot more, but it's a place for you to start:
description: ""
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- light.kitchen_ceiling
from: "off"
to: "on"
for:
hours: 1
minutes: 0
seconds: 0
condition: []
action:
- action: light.turn_off
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
entity_id: light.kitchen_ceiling
I'll try it with a time helper, I seen the timer but its not easy to change the time lets say one day I want 30 minutes, the next I need 2 hours

Unfortunately that wouldn't work as I need a easy GUI helper for example to change how long it needs to be on for
Currently I have a notification handler in place to let me know if its on for longer than 1hr 30mins
