Automate frigate recordings on/off based on schedule

Hi all,

I am trying to set up an automation that will turn frigate camera recording on/off based on and schedule helper.
this is what I managed:

  alias: frigate cam mums on/off - schedule
  description: ""
  triggers:
    - trigger: state
      entity_id:
        - schedule.mums_cam_record
      to: "on"
      id: camon
    - trigger: state
      entity_id:
        - schedule.mums_cam_record
      to: "off"
      id: camoff
  conditions:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.alarmo
      state: disarmed
  actions:
    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: trigger
              id:
                - camon
          sequence:
            - type: turn_on
              device_id: b1233ccb79746d389e26b4ae994b229f
              entity_id: b4c43c51e5cb52cfc74b0023e2ede93a
              domain: switch
        - conditions:
            - condition: trigger
              id:
                - camoff
          sequence:
            - type: turn_off
              device_id: b1233ccb79746d389e26b4ae994b229f
              entity_id: b4c43c51e5cb52cfc74b0023e2ede93a
              domain: switch
  mode: single

it only toggles the recording on/off at the time the schedule changes.
It would be good if it could check it periodically and changes (if schedule = on/off then recording = on/off every 5 mins or so)

Any ideas?
Thnx
