hello

how can i add a “multi” switch to my config?

i need a solution for

10:00-10:30 ON
12:00-12:30 ON
15:00-15:30 ON
20:00-21:00 ON
the rest of the day is OFF.

sorry, but i have no idea what is the right automation-code.

Do you mean you have a switch entity (i.e., something named switch.xxx) and you want an automation to turn it on and off per the schedule you mentioned? If so, you could do that like this:

automation:
  - alias: Turn switch on for a while at certain times
    trigger:
      - platform: time
        at: '10:00:00'
      - platform: time
        at: '12:00:00'
      - platform: time
        at: '15:00:00'
      - platform: time
        at: '20:00:00'
    action:
      - service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id: switch.xxx
      - delay: >
          {% if now().hour == 20 %}
            '01:00:00'
          {% else %}
            '00:30:00'
          {% endif %}
      - service: switch.turn_off
        entity_id: switch.xxx

Just wanted to say that this is a very elegant solution to OP’s question!

Sorry, try removing quotes from times in delay statement.
