HomeKit automation - Wait X seconds does not work.

Is there a way to automate a device to turn off after 10min.

Shortcut “wait x seconds” apparent does not work for long window.

Hi leandrolima,


Thanks for the post. If I understand correctly, you want to know if you can set up an automation for a HomeKit-enabled device to turn off after a set period of time. Is that right?


If so, you might want to check out the "Automate accessories at a certain time" and "Turn off or delete an automation" sections of this link to see if that works for you: Create home automations with the Home app


I hope that helps! If not, feel free to reply back with an update. Kind regards.
