Currently, I have an automation that turns on my air conditioner for 37 minutes, every 3 hours. However, during that time, I cannot do anything like update, HAOS, etc. Because it breaks the timer, and then I have to manually shut it off.

    kind of, why 37 minutes? if you can turn it on and off, why not use a temperature sensor to see if its too hot and turn it on till it gets cold

      Because currently I don’t own a temperature sensor. I plan to own one in the future, but at this moment I do not own one.

      Edit: Also, that did not work. I believe it started the timer, but then it did not wait for the timer to finish. It just continued right on with the list of actions and turned off the device again.
