How to add an HomeKit automation that will set an outlet to never run more than 5 minutes?

Hello esteemed HomeKit community


I have a hot water recirculating pump that is controlled by an eve HomeKit outlet switch. I have it set to turn on for 5 minutes when we are more likely to need hot water such as in the morning, around lunch, and around dinner. That is working great.


But sometimes I notice that the outlet is mysteriously turned on outside of these specific “turn on” automations. I cannot figure out what is triggering it randomly. So, as a safeguard in case that does happen, I want to add an automation which says “always turn off after 5 minutes, no matter when you were turned off”. Is that possible?


Thank you very much for any help.
