So I just configured my closet light with the Kasa HS200 to turn off after 5 minutes. This has been super useful and has greatly reduce my PTSD from my wife constantly nagging at me for leaving my closet light on. However, she is nagging at me again, but now because she wants me to clean my closet! Since I’m a total slob, I’ll need way more than 5 Minutes to complete this task which leads me to my question.
Is there a way to override the 5 minute timer by pressing/holding the switch for one second?
This way I could press the switch like normal for the standard 5 minute timers or hold the switch for one second letting HA know to keep the light on forever. I know I can program a disable timer button in the GUI, but I was hoping to do this all from the switch if possible. I’m just not sure if the Kasa HS200 product supports this.
