Override automations

Has anyone got an easy way to override an automation. So for example, I have to switch off a set of outlets, manually and keep them off, but the automation keeps switching back on..

Can you use the "physical" switch as opposed to "digital" switch marker in logs to do that? A section that states IF "physical" wait 4 hours THEN resume rule?

Please be more specific about your use case and automation. A screen capture of your automation would also be helpful.

you can use virtual switches or physical devices. just set the IF statement in your actions of a rule

It sounds like you are wanting a Auto/Manual switch. I create a Virtual Contact Switch as a Permissive for devices I want to have this flexibility, and then use that switch in the Required Expression for any logic.
For example: I have logic which turns my Pool Pump on and off on various schedules, but I can temporarily disconnect that logic by turning off my virtual Permissive switch.

Create virtual switch. As a conditional in your rule put IF Virtual switch=on then exit rule or similar.
