Why is it I can ask to turn on my light in 5 seconds, and it does it just fine, but if I ask it to turn on my light FOR 5 seconds (I.e turn it off after 5 seconds), it says it’s unable to do that and I must create an automation. It seems odd it can do timed actions in one case, but not others ?

You see the difference, right? Former command says "delay "on" action for 5 seconds. It's easy case. Latter says "turn on the light, wait for 5 seconds, turn off theight". It's more complicated. Not by far, but still.

For former action there's special handler in HA intent engine. For latter there's no handler.

Write it.
