Zigbee button trigger appliance to run at set time

Configuration
1

Am after some advice please on how to make automation.

I have a zigbee button and when I push it I want it to turn the dishwasher on at 10am when off peak power.

So basically

Zigbee button is pushed, automation schedules for 10am, dishwasher start command is sent at 10am

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to achieve that, even if there is an existing post I havent found.

Hi, use the button to turn a helper on.
Use a time trigger in your automation to fire at 10 am.
Use 2 conditions (they are always AND), being the state of that helper and peak power off.

The action is to switch on the the dishwasher.
If the automation has run successfully, turn the helper off.

There you go

Open your Home Assistant instance and show your helper entities.

You need a toggle (input boolean)
