Q: Simple HomeKit Timer with Lutron Caseta

I actually had the same question, how to create a simple timer on a light or device (once on), vs. not turn off/on at specific time. it's not intuitive to create this, the use case maybe in a bathroom with kids or stairway to basement, where you want lights to shutoff automatically after period of time.

Solution: 1) Create Automation

-when light turns on

- Add shortcut / at bottom (and this is key, turn it into a shortcut, because timer otherwise not there)

Scripting Wait x sec/min

Set light Off

I agree with the original poster (Demiru), It would be nice if the timer function was right in Automation / or more intuitive with shortcuts you can add addl options, as this seems like a common function for a light, or fan,.. whatever, to trigger after any number of action.

In Demiru's original post, is mentioned the need to "Create a Scene with the switch(es) Turned Off" as step 1. I didn't see the need for this... simply creating the shortcut allow for the scripting section which was the key...
