Any chance this could be modified to perform a specified action (other than turn off the entity) at the end of the timer?
This timer is perfect for what it does, but I have a weird use case. I have a light that has two modes: a main light, and a nightlight. The nightlight is actually a separate entity. It doesn't just dim the main light, and it's configured that when you turn one or the other on, it will turn off the other, so turning on the nightlight will turn off the main light and vice versa. Turning off the light will turn off both modes.
I'd like to set a timer that will turn off the light during the day, but at night, it will turn on the nightlight instead of turning completely off. If I could call another action (say, an automation) at the end of the timer, this would solve my issue, since I can place all of the conditionals in that automation. Thus, this could still be just a timer... but being able to set the final action makes it much more flexible, without (I assume) changing it much.
