⏱ Trigger - Run ON Timer

Blueprints Exchange

Hello @Blacky, you are so quick, thanks !!!
Good news, everything works, even the slider now starts the automation, it’s almost perfect !

Here is the code for those who want to do the same thing:

alias: Couverture Chauffante Seb
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackshome/timer-relay.yaml
  input:
    entity_input:
      - light.salon_salon_1948
    trigger_input:
      - input_button.couverture_35_min
      - input_number.couverture_chauffante_seb
    time_minutes: "{{ states('input_number.couverture_chauffante_seb') | float }}"
    trigger_state: state
    include_timer_helper: enable_timer_helper
    timer_helper: timer.timer_couverture_chauffante_seb

I can now just set the number with a script or trough api and my heating blanquet will start for XX minutes when I activate my go to bed mode

One more suggestion:
I think that it would simplify further the process to have a button called “heat for 20 minutes”, another one “heat for 35 minutes” etc
If the blue print could set a timer depending of the trigger it would spare the need to create an intermediate script for each button.
Here is the current result:

Tip:
Setting the input_number min value to -1 allows to stop the timer and turn off the entity by sliding the slider to -1

No problem

That is a good idea, I will put it on the list. For now you could create 2 automations, one for 20min and one for 35min and use the same timer helper :wink:

Happy days

Also if you click on the timer and you will see a pause, cancel and finish selection.

New update 1.6

:warning: This is a full redesign and will break your existing automation. We have also changed the name so you can keep your exiting automation and just use the import blueprint button at the top and try it out.

New Feature :new:

  • Name Change - To align with my other blueprint and hopefully for better understanding of the blueprint.
  • Triggers - You can now have 4 different triggers with 4 different run times for your entities in the one blueprint. No need to have multiple automations for different times.
  • Time Input - Removed time sliders to keep the blueprint clean now having 4 time selections.
  • Entities - You can now have any entity domain.

Thanks !

Thought you would like it. You noticed the update it quickly. I used it for a few weeks now with the timer helper and it has been working well. Finally had time to push it out.

Installed and working perfect.
Is it possible to add “sun” condition or any other conditions?
Thanks!

@Kervanoglu

Could you provide a use case for this.

Have you also looked at my :gear: Turn Light, Switch or Scene On & Off with Trigger Conditions blueprint. You can define a time and add any condition you like.

I would like to trigger garage ceiling lamps when garage door button pressed.
Lights should turn off after 10 mins and automation should work only before sunrise and after sunset.

Shelly relay is connected to my garage door opener and when I press the button it turns on for 0.05 seconds then switch back to off position. This is why I cannot use your other automation. Light is turning on for only 0.05 seconds then turns back to off position.

I need to trigger light with only on command from shelly relay and stay on for selected duration.

@Kervanoglu … I will PM you.

Invalid blueprint: extra keys not allowed @ data['blueprint']['input']['timer_helper']['selector']['filter']. Got None

Not very helpful error message to me :frowning:

@kakbit

Hi Patric, Firstly welcome to the community… nice beard :+1:

They can be a bit tricky. Looks like you are on an older version of HA. Please update your Home Assistant and you should be good to go.

Hi Blacky

Love your Blueprints, I am using Sensor Light in the Whole house :smiley:

I want to ask you if you might be interestet in helping me, by maybe updating this blueprint (Run ON Timer), or maybe you have a much better idea on how to do it…

My usecase is:
I have some heattracing, on some piping, on the attic.
I also have an outdoor temp. sensor.
The idea is if the temp. fals to below 0 degress celsius, I need the timer to go on for maybe 5 minutes(adjustable), and then off, for maybe 1 hour(adjustable), turn on 5 min, and then off (you get the picture)…
This behavior should continue until the temp is above 0 degress celsius again.

I have made 2 timer helpers, an ON and a OFF timer

The trigger I could do with an automation on the side maybe, so your blueprint remain being a timer base. (I think I could make that with my limited skills, with a below or above trigger something :slight_smile: )

In short words, can you make this blueprint an option to go, on and off, as long as the trigger is high? With the use of timer helpers(would be bad if the heating never turned off due to reboot).

Would/could you in anyway help me, and maybe ad this posibility to the blueprint?

Best regardz Shorty

@Shortykiller

This is the blueprint that you would use.

@Blacky - how difficult would it be to add the bypasses you have in some of your other blueprints?

My scenario is I have a light and exhaust fan. I don’t always want the exhaust fan to turn on when the light is turned on. But if the exhaust fan is turned on, I want the timer to start when the light is turned off instead of right away.

Thanks!

@lcasale

Have a look at my :toilet: Toilet Exhaust Fan with time delay blueprint. This is all possible an more.

Let me know if this works for you.
