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?

    Why look for something so complicated when you could use a momentary switch that is activated by the door to the closet? Basically like the light in your fridge.

      I don’t want to have to run wires since our attic is a nightmare (blown in insulation 3ft deep), and I don’t want wires just running in the open.

      What I’m looking for really isn’t super complicated. It could easily be done by Lutron or someone making a few small changes to a motion light since they already have the firmware to select shutoff times.
