Still not sure why you are jumping through all these hoops when you can do this:

That method won’t work if it’s over 60 minutes. His method does.

Ah, so that is a limitation for more than just the time pattern trigger. Seems to be an unjustified limit here.

24

I might be wrong… You might be right… I’d need to do tests. You can quickly figure this out if you put in 61 minutes and the yaml complains at you.

25

I think you are correct, I don’t think there’s a limitation. So yeah, your for template should work fine. I’ll let you know in 70 minutes.

The following config was accepted as valid:

- alias: 'Workshop Lights Auto Off'
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.pir_workshop
    to: 'off'
    for:
      minutes: 61

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay.
I’ve tried the following code but it does not work for any value above 60 minutes

- id: cf063a3a5d984cb7a3bc85d225b0a5b0
  alias: Bathroom ventilation timer
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: fan.bathroom_ventilation
    for:
      minutes: '{{ states(''input_number.bathroom_ventilation_timer'') }}'
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition: []
  action:
  - data: {}
    entity_id: fan.bathroom_ventilation
    service: homeassistant.turn_off
  mode: single
