Movement Sensor Loop

[Michael Whitehead]

So I figured this would be simple, one routine to turn lights on, another to turn them off.

#MovementLightsOn
When motion is detected: Turn On Light

#MovementLightsOff
When no motion detected: Turn Off Lights

With no delay, these two routines happen within a few seconds, obviously not convenient.
When I add a delay to turning the lights off I get a rolling loop of multiple automation processes turning the lights on and off at the start and end of each individual detection.

How do I:
#MovementLightsOff
When no motion detected for X mins: Turn Off Lights

Thank you for your time.

I’m with you. Just came for basically the same answer. I have motion turned the light on with a 5 minute delay. More motion doesn’t seem to extend the timer and turning the light on manually still gets turned off 5 minutes after motion. I want the lights on due to motion but at least a way to manually switch it and have it stay on when I’m in the room?

can’t work out a logic pattern that works.
