Can a specific time-off, not a number of hours be set using Home App for a room lamp?
HomePod mini, 15
Does not permit turning OFF at specific time....only permits number of hours up to four hours.
The should be possible. See Create scenes and automations with the Home app - Apple Support and the section Automate accessories at a certain time.

Talked with excellent Apple Tech support guy today. Yes, is simple to setup specific
turn-off time once understanding the meaning of the settings. When selecting off-time
there is an drop down that offers options such as 1min, 2, min thru 4 hours. The meaning is
the wait time before it acts on the selected off-time. My misunderstanding was taking those choices
as time between On and Off...I was wrong. Tech guy was great....expalned everything.
Can't you recall a specific scene, which would turn it off if it was on? Works here.

As far as I know you have to set up another automation to turn it off at a specific time.
Nothing that I can find simply permits turning off at specific time. Very simple to
set a time-on....to simply set a time-off is ridiculously involved and non specific.
Yes, can setup so called Automation that makes setting time-off a run around. Can't imagine
why this way?
I'm hoping Apple might read this....
