Could someone create a specific automation as a learning tool for me?

Hello Profile - clairdrummer - Home Assistant Community,

I’m sure that can be done. Also having someone or something writing it for you means the second it misbehaves, you will be struggling back to find someone to fix it for you.

The best way to learn is to just try. Run thru the docs on getting started with the automation editor. If you get stuck, come back with what you have done.

Start with a flowchart on paper. I want to look for x to happen, when it happens I want to do Y,
In your case and assuming entry level, you want 2 automations. One to turn the thing on and another to turn it off.
