Your options depend a bit on what the device is, and how it gets turned on in the first place, but basically something like this would work in RM

I use a Basic Rule for it

basically each potentially cost more system resources as they are more complex/advanced

start with

it that doesn't do what you want
Basic Rule / Motion and Mode Lighting
Rule Machine.
moving up in complexity
there are lots to community apps which may have been made to cover specific jobs like averaging light levels/temperatures, combining switch's together (mirroring) controlling switch's/fans based on humidity levels
