Automation based on Philips Hue light brightness

Configuration
1

I would like to make a automation that turns ofg a Philips Hue light after 5 minutes. I have no idea how to start, I am quite new to home assistant.

Thanks in advance!

in an automation you will have a trigger that will turn on the lights.

in the action of the automation you will do something like:

  • turn on light
  • delay 5 minutes
  • turn off light

You can also just have an automation that looks to see if a light has been in for 20 and then turns it off.

Like this one.

Thanks for replying! I will test it out when I get home from work. It look like it is going to work.

I guess you wanted this automation in case of power fluctuation and you have the gen 1 hue bulbs. I’m using this one:

No, it is a hue light in the closet that is left on and forgotten with the door closet. I wanted to know if there was a solution for it.

Thanks for the response!

It does not seem to work. i changed it to:

  • alias: Automated Light WatchDog!
    trigger:
    • platform: state
      entity_id:
      • light.iris
        state: ‘on’
        for: ‘00:01:00’ #1 minute for testing

Turn it off!
action:
- service: light.turn_off
data:
entity_id: lights.iris

I now have it configured like this.

  • alias: Automated Light WatchDog!
    trigger:
    • platform: state
      entity_id:
      • light.iris
        state: ‘on’
        for: ‘00:02:00’

action:
- service: light.turn_off
entity_id: light.iris
