#Disable another automation for a time period

I have automation around my av gear, if something starts playing it turns off the lights. However I want to sometimes just listen to music with the lights on.

What I want to create is either

  1. Have a script /automation/something that I can manually trigger to disable that for x minutes

  2. Same idea but apply until I next turn my avr (device) off.

Is this possible and if so how?

action: automation.turn_on and action: automation.turn_off

Rather than the delay, you could use a wait for trigger, the trigger being when your AVR device state is off

Create an input boolean (toggle) named e.g. Turn off lights when music plays. Then add a condition which checks if this boolean is on

Useful ideas. Just need to figure out how to connect it all up. I have an unfolded remote3, so need to somehow create something that it can interact with to set the Boolean I think.

I assume I need to create a script, as automations need a trigger which I wouldn't have
