Hi guys
I’m very new here and need some help.
I just can’t seem to figure out the automation of this.
I want to say turn my light on at 22:00 every day and then off again at 05:00 and I can’t get the code right in the configuration file
Here is my switch info:
switch:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Living Room"
state_topic: "home/sonoff/living_room/1/stat"
command_topic: "home/sonoff/living_room/1"
qos: 0
payload_on: "on"
payload_off: "off"
optimistic: false
retain: true
You can try something like this:
automation:
- alias: Turn On Living Room light at 22:00
trigger:
platform: time
hours: 22
minutes: 00
seconds: 00
action:
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.living_room
To turn off, just change service: light.turn_on to light.turn_off

I had to change it slightly to to avoid errors:
automation:
- alias: Turn On Living Room light at 22:00
trigger:
platform: time
after: '22:00:00'
action:
service: light.turn_on
entity_id: light.living_room
But now I see in cmd that “unable to find service light.turn_on”
I also tried light,payload_on, but that didn’t work either.
I’m very proud of myself because I figured it out ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.home-assistant.io/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=9)
automation:
- alias: Turn On Living Room light at 22:00
trigger:
platform: time
after: '11:51:00'
action:
service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.living_room
