⏳ Entity - Run ON Timer

Is it possible to make this blueprint universal so it could also turn off a device for a defined time and then turn back on after the time has elapsed? (Selectable action to temporarily turn on or off).

Yes this is possible but maybe my Timer Relay - Run ON Timer will suit you better. You can choose the state ON or OFF of an entity to then turn ON another entity.

Also, it was not clear to me that this ran EVERY TIME an entity was turned on.

Yes it is a run on timer, so when you turn it ON the timer will turn it OFF.

With this setup, if my existing automation turns on a device that has this blueprint applied, it will turn off every time going forward based on the time defined in the blueprint.

I am not realy sure what you are trying to achieve. When will it know when to do the “1-shot”. Have a look at my other blueprint and let me know if this works for you.
