Create a timer in AGENTS and then program as follows:

No what you would do here is just start the timer.

 

Then program when timer starts:

- start the playlist

 

Then when timer expires:

-stop

Well the firs time I tried it, the room did not turn off.  I did change volume mid timer so not sure if that took the script out of script.  Just tried it again.  Waiting now for the timer to run out.  I was more asking if the way I set it up is the correct way.

the above looks good and if you want it really nice the new experience buttons that @alanchow has can make a Graphical on/off switch so that you know its on other than the music turning on.

Timer stopped and room is still on.  What am I missing?  Does "ROOM OFF" have to be programmed?
