Hello, Is it possible to start a timer from a switch button ?

Hi everyone, this feature is now implemented in Hue Essentials. Please make sure you are using the latest version. Below you can find how to create a timer automation for a switch. How to create a timer automation on a switch: Open Hue Essentials Go to the Devices tab Select your smart switch Sel…

Hello. One more vote for this! I want to turn on a light from a dimmer Switch and have that light turn off automatically after a set time. During this time the Dimmer Switch should work normally, ie I should be able to dim down or up the lights and the timer countdown shouldn’t be affected by this…

Hi, I’m interrested too by this feature :slight_smile:

I do see a pattern here on the forum; many wishes, lots of adding to a wishlist by Hue Essential but very little outcome in terms of implementations.

Curious to hear what effect you had in mind here and how to set it up? How does this effect work exactly? Might have useful scenarios for it. :slight_smile:

Any news? I’d like to be able to do the same and turn an extractor fan off after a set amount of time. If I just join the fan to the lights, she would just leave the lights and the fan on and walk away, leaving it on for hours.

I came for this too for the stair problem, but even this added to a wishlist 2 years ago, there is no info or anything from the developer. It’s sad.
