Hi, i’'m after some info on how to setup a simple automation to switch off a switch @ xx:xx:xx time. I have tried numerous ways and either i get no errors but the automation does not work OR i get errors.
I have a switch called switch.computer_room, i want to have this switch off at 10pm (22:00:00) using service switch.turn_off which works if i do it manually. I’ve spent HOURS trying to get this work, if any one can assist that would be appreciated.
Give this a try:
- alias: Computer Room Lights Off
trigger:
platform: time
at: '22:00:00'
action:
- service: homeassistant.turn_off
entity_id: switch.computer_room
Add this to your automation.yaml file…
I’ve been told you need to restart Home Assistant after creating or modifying an automation, this was not obvious to me…
You don’t need to restart Home Assistant. Simply reload your automations from the config panel. (Configuration->General->Reload Automation)
However, adding or removing components requires a restart of hass.
Thanks very much to you all, i wasn’t aware of the reload as i was restarting HASS. Managed to get the automation to work so big thanks.
does this work with input boolean??
