Hello @X0mbie,

Using the Rules API is another good option, you just need to use an API test tool, like Postman.
The sample below has this workflow:

  1. IF the button is pushed
  2. THEN set a 30-minute timer to turn OFF the TV
{
    "name":"If button is pushed, set timer to turn the TV off",
    "actions": [
        {
            "if":{
                "equals": {
                    "left": {
                        "device": {
                            "devices": [
                                "device-id-button"
                            ],
                            "component": "main",
                            "capability": "button",
                            "attribute": "button"
                        }
                    },
                    "right": {
                        "string": "pushed"
                    }
                },
                "then":[
                    {
                        "sleep": {
                            "duration": {
                                "value": {
                                    "integer": 30
                                },
                                "unit": "Minute"
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        "command": {
                            "devices": [
                                "device-id-tv"
                            ],
                            "commands": [
                                {
                                    "component": "main",
                                    "capability": "switch",
                                    "command": "off"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

Complete the rule by placing the device IDs correctly, for more information, check this document.

Let me know if you have any doubts.
