    **The Automation Process:**
      - When a trigger is activated, it turns the selected entities ON and then OFF automatically in a pre-set time period.
      - You can set 4 different triggers. Each trigger can have a different time period.
      - The entities will stay ON if the trigger has been activated again before the time delay turns the entity OFF. It will then reset the time delay after the last trigger event.
      - You have the option to use a timer helper. This is useful if you would like to display the remaining time in a dashboard and the timer will survive a HA restart.
      - HA Restart - If you use a timer helper it will resume as nothing happened (recommended). If you don't use a timer helper, then when HA restarts, the automation will try and reset back to the start of trigger 1 time.
