Homekit. Switch on accessory for a period of time.

Has anyone been able to devise a scene or automation were you can switch on an accessory for a period of time, in this case an eve energy plug and have that plug switch off automatically after a period of time?

You could say hey Siri bedtime lamp on and the lamp would stay on for 30 minutes then switch off, or you could say hey Siri lamp on or lamp lamp off and behave normally. Thank you.

Hey Lwio!

We would be more than happy to provide you with information on Automation.

You can find the different ways to set Automations here: Create scenes and automations with the Home app

You can also check with the manufacturer of the accessory to see if they have their own app you can use for automations and settings, or if they have some other options on their end to set things up for the accessory.

Have a great day!
