Turn a switch off after a defined set of time (simple switch automation)

[JonTheNiceGuy]

This is my first blueprint(!) and, having tested it, I created a blueprint of the code on this post: Turn light off after X minutes, no matter how it was turned on

blueprint:
  name: Turn off Switch after Time has elapsed
  description: Given a switch entity, watch for it turning on, and then turn it off after a certain period of time.
  domain: automation
  input:
    switch:
      name: Switch
      description: Select the switch to monitor and control
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: switch
    time:
      name: Duration
      description: The duration to leave the switch on for
      selector:
        duration:

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: !input switch
    to: 'on'
    for: !input time
condition: []
action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    data: {}
    entity_id: !input switch
mode: single

The same, but this time for Lights.

blueprint:
  name: Turn off Light after Time has elapsed
  description: Given a light entity, watch for it turning on, and then turn it off after a certain period of time.
  domain: automation
  input:
    light:
      name: Light
      description: Select the light to monitor and control
      selector:
        entity:
          domain: light
    time:
      name: Duration
      description: The duration to leave the light on for
      selector:
        duration:

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: !input light
    to: 'on'
    for: !input time
condition: []
action:
  - service: light.turn_off
    data: {}
    entity_id: !input light
mode: single

domain can accept a list of domains. If you specify both light and switch, a single blueprint will be able to handle both. Just remember to change light.turn_off to homeassistant.turn_off (because it’s able to turn off lights and switches).

Thanks, I’ll get that sorted out later!
