best way to replace timer? (lemmy.zip)

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.

Yeah, I have plans on doing that at some point. I've just not wanted to spend the money on it lol.

I would likely go with the Third Reality sensor

I have a few of the Third Reality sensors, they work pretty well for this kind of application.

Yeah, I like my third reality smart plug, so the third reality temperature sensor is probably the one I will end up going with.

Mainly because the third reality products are official home assistant partners.
