Disable/enable a schedule through an automation

Configuration
1

I have an automation that sets my theromostat target temperature according to a schedule, as per below (I have not used
the schedule helper, but written the schedule in schedule.yaml)

thermostat_schedule_livingroom:
  name: "Thermostat schedule livingroom"
  monday:
    - from: "08:00:00"
      to: "21:00:00"
  tuesday:
    - from: "08:00:00"
      to: "21:00:00"
  wednesday:
    - from: "08:00:00"
      to: "21:00:00"
  thursday:
    - from: "08:00:00"
      to: "21:00:00"
  friday:
    - from: "08:00:00"
      to: "21:00:00"
  saturday:
    - from: "08:00:00"
      to: "21:00:00"
  sunday:
    - from: "08:00:00"
      to: "21:00:00"

I would like to add a “boost” automation that increases the target temperature for a user-specified time regardless of the schedule, and then returns the temperature to what it should be, given the time of day (7 when the schedule is off and states('input_number.schedule_target_temp_livingroom') when the schedule is on).

alias: boost_livingroom
description: Boost living room heat for specified time
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - input_button.boost_livingroom
condition: []
action:
  - service: climate.set_temperature
    target:
      entity_id: climate.lumi_lumi_airrtc_agl001_thermostat_2
    data:
      temperature: 24
      hvac_mode: heat
    enabled: true
  - delay: "{{(states('input_number.boost_time_livingroom')|int) * 3600}}"
  - if:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: schedule.thermostat_schedule_livingroom
        state: "on"
    then:
      - service: climate.set_temperature
        target:
          entity_id: climate.lumi_lumi_airrtc_agl001_thermostat_2
        data:
          temperature: "{{states('input_number.schedule_target_temp_livingroom')}}"
          hvac_mode: heat
    else:
      - service: climate.set_temperature
        target:
          entity_id: climate.lumi_lumi_airrtc_agl001_thermostat_2
        data:
          temperature: 7
          hvac_mode: heat
 mode: single

This works fine, as long as the schedule doesn’t switch state during the delay period. If it does, the thermostat changes to the schedule-controlled defaults instead of completing the boost-delay period.

I thought that the simplest approach would be to disable the schedule while the boost automation is activated. Is there a way to disable/enable the schedule within the boost automation actions?

I have seen this post about schedule helper Ability to override Schedule Helpers, but it does not seem to have had responses.

This should be as simple as adding an extra condition - boost is not active - in the automation that executes the schedule?
