ESPHome: time: dynamically enable/disable on_time settings

ESPHome

Just program a rollershutter. My old one has timers, but I can also switch to a full manual mode. I want to have this modes with my new fancy ESPhome switch too.

I know how to program timers in ESPHome - as for instance:

    on_time:    
    # Every morning on weekdays
      - days_of_week: MON-FRI
        hours: 06
        minutes: 30
        seconds: 0
        then:
          - switch.toggle: switch_up

But now the 100$ question: How can I disable that without reflash the programm? My idea would be to do a long press on stop button to switch between timer and manual (no timer) mode.

IMHO see no way to disable on_time:, but You can program whatever logic You want in then:.
Create binary_sensor or switch for manual/auto and then just do nothing if manual mode switched on.

Thank you. Will see how this is possible. Seem to be some work to do. Wondering that this is no one else requesting - maybe all are trust in their networks. But I have to care about the waf (womens acceptance factor) and this needs that feature to turn off the (offline-)timer.

then:
      if:
        condition:
          your-condition-here
        then:
         - switch.toggle: switch_up
