Create buttons to turn air con off in 30 mins/1 hour/2 hours

Configuration

I want to create some buttons to turn the aircon off in 30mins, 1 hour, 2 hours. Something like below:

Ideally with the button remaining “pressed” when that timer is running.

I need to do this for 5 air con units so ideally I want to make it reusable rather than just creating 15 input booleans.

Any ideas on a clever way to do this?

Hi,

Did you do it? and can you tell us how?

  1. create a script to start and then stop a device with a delay between the two actions
  2. edit a dashboard to which you add the previously created script entity and for the type of card choose button

To arrange several buttons vertically/horizontally, you have the option of adding a virtual stack or horizontal stack card to the dashboard

Whilst @vlad2005 answer is good I have multiple aircons and wanted multi options and I don’t like the increasing number of automations in my system. So I did this:

  1. Use the helpers to create an input_select helper. Added “Disabled” as the first entry and then “30”, “60”, *90", etc as the minutes.

Then I created this automation:

alias: Turn off Bedroom Aircon Timer
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_select.bedroom_aircon_off_time
condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_select.bedroom_aircon_off_time
            state: Disabled
        sequence: []
    default:
      - delay: 00:{{ states('input_select.bedroom_aircon_off_time') | int }}:00
      - service: climate.turn_off
          entity_id: climate.bedroom_ac
      - service: input_select.select_option
        data:
          option: Disabled
        target:
          entity_id: input_select.bedroom_aircon_off_time
mode: restart
