I have been searching on and off for years with no avail for a simple light switch that turns off after a preset amount of time to install on our closets. I just want a regular ass looking rocker switch, not one with a dozen timer buttons, not one with a motion sensor.

I know I could just use a smart switch and have HA turn it off, but I’m waiting for TP-Link to release a Matter ready firmware update before buying more.

I guess I could just use a sonoff relay, but I really don’t think this particular application should require smart functionality.

Anyone know of a switch like what I’m trying to find?

    For me, it’s a classical case for a Sonoff Basic (or Mini) with Tasmota, then write 1 rule and it is done. The smartness helps “on the outside”: I can watch the state in Home Assistant.

    The “non-smart” way to do this is a momentary switch and a timer relay module.

      Yeah, that’s the route I’ll take once I start rolling out my Hal9000 project since it’s the best spot in each room for the human presence detectors. I was just hoping there was a $5 Chinese switch that would die about the time I was ready to install.
