Ok Try if this works. You have to create one more input_boolean. Then add that to the scheduler card along with the heater schedule. Make sure that this input_boolean is turned on and off outside the condition of the first input boolean (input_boolean.microondas_boolean). Then create an automation with this new input_boolean turning on as trigger. Provide condition to check input_boolean.microondas_boolean is on. In actions just use the wait template or wait until trigger to trigger the automation after input_boolean.microondas_boolean is off.

Thank you. I’ll reread several times your answer and will try tomorrow. I’ll let you know if I succeed.

I think I have it. I describe it just in case it is useful for somebody else. All the credit goes to @sheminasalam .
I have an input_boolean, microondas_boolean, activated when the microwave is on, which is connected to a sonoff switch (sonoff_001).
I suppose I have two heaters. So, I have created two input_booleans to control their activation: radiador_salon_boolean and radiador_dormitorio_piso_boolean.
And finally I have the heater switches: sonoff_002 and sonoff_003.
I’ve created one scheduler-card for each heater, but instead of switching on and off the real switches, I switch on and off the input_boolean.radiador_salon_boolean or input_boolean.radiador_dormitorio_piso_boolean.
And finally I need one automation to react to microondas_boolean switch-on, and two for each heater (one to react to the switch-off and other to react to the switch-on).

Just throwing in what i’ve made:
I’ve done the same with a lamp i’ve got next to my TV. When watching (or playing anything for that matter) i want it to save the device state and turn off said light, and return it when i’ve paused the tv. I have an extra challenge since i’m using adaptive lighting to change the brightness and temperature automatically and want it to return as well if it dynamic lighting was in control of the lamp. I’ve managed to solve it as such:

This works fine for me, but i’d also love a simpler way to record a device state. Adding temporary scenes doesn’t seem like the right solution but it works for now.
