I’m am trying to get an automation working to automatically turn a switch off, after a period of time, regardless of whether it was switched on manually or via an automation.
This is the code that I am using.
- id: rich_electric_blanket_auto_off
alias: Turn off Electric Blanket Rich after two hours
description: Automatically turns off Rich's electric blanket two hours after being
turned on.
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: switch.electric_blanket_rich
from: 'Off'
to: 'On'
for: 02:00:00
condition: []
action:
- service: switch.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.electric_blanket_rich
mode: single
I’ve tried splitting out the for like below, but that didn’t make any difference.
for:
hours: 2
minutes: 0
seconds: 0
Any suggestions on what could be causing the issues? The configuration tool shows no issues etc, and there in nothing in the logs to indicate any issues.
Thanks!
