Hi gues. I’m new to homeassistant and this is my first post.
I need your helps.
I’ m trying to do an automation from the UI following the path: configuration --> create and edit automations.
The automation I want to do is this:
When a motion detector is activated, turn_on a light switch for 5 minutes and after this time the light turn_off .
I have made the following automation and it works but without the possibility to turn off the light switch after 5 minutes.
- id: '1595890583920'
alias: Light kitchen from sensor
description: ''
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.sensor_kitchen_g_152
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
- device_id: b8cbd34b2c044a85bd5c0defc052111c
domain: switch
entity_id: switch.shelly_shsw_1_111d39
type: turn_on
mode: single
max: 10
How can I “Turn off” the entity_id: switch.shelly_shsw_1_111d39, after 5 minutes?
Thanks in advance for your help.

SOLVED.
with action “DELAY”

(It was my first script automation. :smiley:)

mode: should be reset? Also, typo in your delay time i think

mode “single” also works well.
what you mean ‘typo delay time’.?

Should just be 00:05:00?
Also, i haven’t tried it out but the doc makes it sound like it would turn off lights after 5 minutes even if new motion was detected

- id: 'auto_motion_light'
alias: 'Automatic motion-activated light'

entity_id: switch.shelly_shsw_1_111d39
type: turn_on
- delay: 00:05:00
- device_id: b8cbd34b2c044a85bd5c0defc052111c
