Routine to turn off a light after 30minutes

dansker4583 — Sun, 23 Apr 2023 01:16:15 GMT

I was trying to create a routine that would trigger when a light switch turned on, wait 30 minutes and then turn it off, however once i chose the the starters as that switch turning on there is no way to take an action on the same switch, Am I missing anything? Ideas?

Hello dansker4583,

Thanks for posting here in the Community.

The actions in the Routines will activate as soon as they're triggered, so it'll be best if you create another routine scheduled 30 minutes later to switch the light off. You can visit this website to learn more.

Let me know if this helps.

Best,
Lovely

You can also set a 'custom action' and enter 'turn on x lights for 2 minutes'.
