Installed and working perfect.
Is it possible to add “sun” condition or any other conditions?
Thanks!

@Kervanoglu

Could you provide a use case for this.

Have you also looked at my :gear: Turn Light, Switch or Scene On & Off with Trigger Conditions blueprint. You can define a time and add any condition you like.

I would like to trigger garage ceiling lamps when garage door button pressed.
Lights should turn off after 10 mins and automation should work only before sunrise and after sunset.

Shelly relay is connected to my garage door opener and when I press the button it turns on for 0.05 seconds then switch back to off position. This is why I cannot use your other automation. Light is turning on for only 0.05 seconds then turns back to off position.

I need to trigger light with only on command from shelly relay and stay on for selected duration.

@Kervanoglu … I will PM you.

Invalid blueprint: extra keys not allowed @ data['blueprint']['input']['timer_helper']['selector']['filter']. Got None

Not very helpful error message to me :frowning:

Hi Patric, Firstly welcome to the community… nice beard :+1:

They can be a bit tricky. Looks like you are on an older version of HA. Please update your Home Assistant and you should be good to go.

Hi Blacky

Love your Blueprints, I am using Sensor Light in the Whole house :smiley:

I want to ask you if you might be interestet in helping me, by maybe updating this blueprint (Run ON Timer), or maybe you have a much better idea on how to do it…

My usecase is:
I have some heattracing, on some piping, on the attic.
I also have an outdoor temp. sensor.
The idea is if the temp. fals to below 0 degress celsius, I need the timer to go on for maybe 5 minutes(adjustable), and then off, for maybe 1 hour(adjustable), turn on 5 min, and then off (you get the picture)…
This behavior should continue until the temp is above 0 degress celsius again.

I have made 2 timer helpers, an ON and a OFF timer

The trigger I could do with an automation on the side maybe, so your blueprint remain being a timer base. (I think I could make that with my limited skills, with a below or above trigger something :slight_smile: )

In short words, can you make this blueprint an option to go, on and off, as long as the trigger is high? With the use of timer helpers(would be bad if the heating never turned off due to reboot).

Would/could you in anyway help me, and maybe ad this posibility to the blueprint?

Best regardz Shorty

@Shortykiller

This is the blueprint that you would use.

If you would like more help then just PM me.

@Blacky - how difficult would it be to add the bypasses you have in some of your other blueprints?

My scenario is I have a light and exhaust fan. I don’t always want the exhaust fan to turn on when the light is turned on. But if the exhaust fan is turned on, I want the timer to start when the light is turned off instead of right away.

Thanks!

@lcasale

Have a look at my :toilet: Toilet Exhaust Fan with time delay blueprint. This is all possible an more.

Let me know if this works for you.

hey @Blacky - I gave that a try but it doesn’t work quite the way I want it to. I don’t want to tie the trigger of turning the fan on with the light switch at all. Really what I’m looking to do is

  • Start a timer to turn off the fan after the fan has been turned on
  • If the light is on while the fan is running, reset and pause the timer until the light is turned off and then resume the timer

I don’t think I can achieve that with the other blueprint since it’s designed around using the light (or motion) as a trigger

34

@lcasale

You can do this but not with my blueprints as it is realy a custom automation. If you are not sure how to do this then PM me with your entity ID’s for

  • Fan
  • Light
  • Timer

What I need to control my MVHR fan boost in homeassistant, is to switch a Boost fan on when ANY bathroom light (upto 4 lights) turns on.

The Boost starts after a delay (5 min) and stays on while ANY light is on.

After ALL the lights have gone off then turn Boost off after another (20 min) delay

Also a manual boost on would be useful, as would your weekday selection!

Is there a version of one of your amazing blueprints that might achieve this?

Thanks
Fred

@Fastfreddy

Currently I don’t have a blueprint that would do this.

Blacky :smiley:

37

No worries, I’ve written an automation that does it :grinning:

Hey,

is it possible, to change the timer with a slider in the dashboard?
I want to control the time, a device is turned on…

@Scratcher48

Yeah, anything is possible it Home Assistant :wink:

I will explain why I develop it like this and how I use it as it may help you or anyone reading this.

My use case is to turn on my electric blanket in my bed. Depending on how cold it is depends on how long I would like my electric blanket ON. When developing it a slider is hard to set on your mobile phone and I just wanted something quick and easy. The electric blanket is plugged into a smart switch and it is turned ON for the max time. Safe guards are in the electric blanket controller so all is good.

  1. I created 4 press button helpers and a timer helper.
  2. Select any state change, enable all triggers, entered in my smart plug, enabled timer helper and enter in the helper.
  3. Then I put each press button helper in each timer input.
  4. Then with time I have one for 30 min, one for 2 hours, one for 4 hours and one for 9 hours.
  5. Then I added each button helper into the dashboard and the timer helper (Tip: If you click on the timer helper you can stop it, pause it etc).
  6. Now when I would like to turn on my electric blanket depending on how cold it is I just press the button for the time I would like, no slider to adjust just press.

It is a blueprint as I use this on all my beds and beds have 2 sides (2 controllers)

I don’t know if that will work for you but I thought I would explain this as it just could be what your looking for.

Hello,
I love your blueprint. But I have a problem with it.

When I want it to control climate it will turn it on, but it won’t turn it off.

Here is my config:

alias: "FVE: Turn on boiler for a given duration"
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackshome/trigger-run-on-timer.yaml
  input:
    timer_helper: timer.bojler_casovac
    entity_input:
      entity_id: climate.kotelna_bojler
    include_timer_helper: enable_timer_helper
    trigger_one_time:
      hours: 1
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
    trigger_two_time:
      hours: 2
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
    trigger_three_time:
      hours: 3
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
    trigger_four_time:
      hours: 4
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
    trigger_state: state
    trigger_one:
      - input_button.bojler_na_1h
    trigger_two:
      - input_button.bojler_na_2h
    trigger_three:
      - input_button.bojler_na_3h
    trigger_four:
      - input_button.bojler_na_4h
    include_extra_triggers:
      - use_trigger_two
      - use_trigger_three
      - use_trigger_four

Did I do something wrong? Or could you fix it, please?

Thank you,
Tomas
