The automation works correctly, but it took several tests to understand how to configure it, even though it should be straightforward.
In Automation 2.0, here is the correct setup:
In the “When” section: choose Turn On
In the “Then” section: choose Wait 1 minute
In the next “Then” action: choose Turn Off
What creates confusion is the wording of the trigger. It should clearly indicate the state of the device, for example “Est allumé (state)”, meaning that the light is currently in the “on” state. The current translation does not reflect this correctly and leads to misunderstandings.
This automation is working fine even if you turn on the light using Siri or HomeKit. It’s just a question of naming Trigger which should not be the same name of action.
And this is a cyclical On/Off lamp automation with two variables with which we can choose the activation period. You can stop this automation only by turning off the automation. The work cycle is constant🤣
There is a practical application, I create a trigger for starting automation based on such a cycle. It’s difficult to explain simply, someday I’ll write a lesson on using my invention. In a word - it’s complex automation.
