Hi All,

Just a bit unsure of something. I have an automation that runs a sprinkler for 1 minute every morning. Automation works fine and obviously I can manually select execute to run it at any time I desire.

However, I would also like to put that automation into an entitys card with a button to allow the wife to click it when she thinks the sprinkler needs to run for upto a minute (or less by closing button).

I create the card and add the automation as the entity (maybe thats wrong) and when I click the button nothing happens. After some reading I believe that a script or more work is required but I wish to confirm that becuase to be honest I thought it would have been a lot easier (gui work).

I know that we could just click the main sprinkler entities card however Im trying to avoid leaving the sprinkler running hence why I wish to use the automations 1 minute timing.

Cheers.
