Does anyone have any timed scenes with HomeKit? I'd like my "good night" scene to do several things, one being turn on my flood lights for 5 minutes for my dogs to go out & pee. After 5 minutes I'd like them to go off. I'm using the Insteon app which doesn't seem to handle this & wondering if anyone else has a solution?

You can definitely do this on a timer but I am not sure there is a way in homekit to start a clock running once you turn the light on to turn it on at a certain time. What I have done is just set a off scene to run at 11PM every night in the ConnectSense app
