Virtual Switches that turn themselves off?

Yes, but you have to use a different type of Switch, a “virtual momentary.” This kind is like a doorbell button, it is off most of the time and just turns on briefly when activated, then turns itself off again.

See the virtual device FAQ for details:

The other alternative is to use the same kind of switch that you are using now, but set up an additional automation with SmartLights feature in the mobile app using the “power allowance” option so that this switch always turns itself off after one minute.

Either way works, so it’s just up to you which you prefer. :sunglasses:
