Anyone seen a way to do this, if a light is on longer than 10 minutes you turn it off Thanks

Sure do! You can use the Smart Lighting app or… You can use this one… [image] Rule machine - as per the app developer, this app is no longer available for new installs, distribution, or support Community Created SmartApps Rule Machine is no longer available.

There is also the “Power Allowance” SmartApp which turns off a switch after a set number of minutes.

It’s an action, turn off after delay, using the switch itself as the trigger.

That’s what I was thinking. Same principle, different name

Cheers Jason! Been scratching my head trying to do this as wanted a fail-safe for my external security lights so they do not keep burning should something go wrong elsewhere. Am going to try and move everything over to webCoRE slowly but having the SmartApps definitely gives me peace of mind lol

Turn a light off if on more that 10 minutes
