Add TIMER to the switch to make it automatically shut off after a certain time, like 5 minutes.
You can make a rule to do that. and about 100 other things.
How? With Device Trigger?
Rules - - > Create Rule - - > Device Trigger.
Hit the + symbol next to âDevice Triggerâ and go select your plug⌠you should have an option for âHas been on forâŚâ. Select that and choose the time (5 min).
Then hit the + symbol next to âActionâ. Select the same plug and choose to âTurn Offâ.
You can add a time window if you want.

Wyze Switch timer (turn off after x time)
My kids turn ON the garage light, But almost always forget to trun it OFF⌠Iâd love to hav it turn off automatically after say 20 min.
Now the garage has a WYZE swtich, but I do not see any way to program it to auto turn of after X minutes/hours? I can schedule it to turn off every 30 min�
@HappyMud, Earl.Automation gave some great instructions to do this. Have you tried creating a âDevice Triggerâ rule? See below.

Perfect! Thanks!
How did this work?
I just set mine up but I also have schedules for sunset till 8 or 10pm (day and season depending)
So will it turn on at sunset then off after 30 min?
I need it to only turn off if pressed
I also want to turn on and sunset for a set time say sunset for 2hr then off
great ideas for smart switch, PLEASE UPDATE! easy!
I bought a 3 pack of smart switches.
Iâve only use one, where I really wanted it. Works great, but could be betterâŚ
where: bathroom fan
Now, i leave the bathroom after a shower and say, âok google, turn off âbath fanâ in 3 minsâ.
Suggestion:
I see that there are more functions I can set up for a long press, or double/triple press etc, but that just controls other things. I want a long press for ânâ number of mins. A double press for 5 mins, triple press for 8 mins, etc. My wife takes way longer/hotter showers than I do and thus the fan needs to run longer. This would be awesome! And likely simple to program in.
