Randomize timer in automations UI (Visual Editor)

Feature Requests
1

Create a possibility to easily randomize time triggers in the Automations Visual Editor:
E.g. switch off a light randomly somewhere between 22:00 and 23:30,
An option to be able to add a “random delay” action in the Action area would also work for me.
I have been able to add a random delay in YAML, but would be easier if I could just edit it in the Visual Editor

Hi, I was searching for a easy solution and did following:

  • Create a Random Sensor Helper wit Unit of Measurement: min
  • In my automation (using Time Trigger) ad a delay before the Action. (need to use YAML but even I could do it) :slight_smile:
