7 Day timer

1

I have had a play and designed a mqtt 7 day timer and using node red to enable a virtual switch

mqtt in retain false - cmnd/myhome/auto_lighting/hallway/switch
mqtt out retain true - state/myhome/auto_lighting/hallway/switch

step 1
add to config folder named " timer_motion_hallway.yaml"

The new Google clock apk works with Google assistant to activate times

Is there a way I can make it simple as having these timers under entity’s more info dialog? I would like to have my frontend as clean as possible without having too many timers showing. Reason being if I would make every switches and lights for an individual timer, thats gonna be a mess. Maybe if I do it under more info dialog box it would be less function as this, but as long it does the job, maybe I could figure out later

you can organise it from groups and then they are all hidden from main page

Hello everyone

I think you might like this :
Universal Persistent Timer
It can add a timer to anything including multiple scripts, lights etc. with separate start and stop actions, and will resume in the event of downtime and requires no programming skills once installed. All lights, switches etc can be accessed from auto populated lists; and you can specify days of the week, repetitions, intervals, and much more. Timers can be paused, backed up and give activation notifications etc.
