Manual-on/auto-off switch

I am looking for a switch which, when turned on, automatically switches off after a predetermined time like 1 minute or two minutes. The application is a door light which is turned on when someone rings the doorbell.

What would such a switch be called.

Any link would be welcome from which I can purchase it. Ali Express is preferred as it definitely delivers to my country.

Time delay light switch maybe, although you would place that next to the door bell so the visitor has to push both. Of course you could wrap a sense wire around the mains cable to trigger a bell when the light is pushed so there's no high voltage in your DIY circuitry.

If you want to make your own project then you can get breadboards with a NE555 timer already mounted on them.

Thanks both. I have placed an order for the relay. I hope it works the way I see it.
