Automation timer lights off, keep turning lights on

Configuration
1

Im new to HomeAssistant… Trying to set a automation. I have a Reolink camera so whenever motion is detected I want the entrance light to turn on, so I have a timer and it all seem to work except when timer runs out motion is triggered and light turns back on.

Not sure if the code helps to see what could be wrong or if I paste pictures of ui instead?

It’s working exactly the way you designed it; it turns on the light (and restarts the timer) whenever motion is detected. It turns off the light when the timer finishes … but it will turn it back on if motion is detected.

How do you want it to work?

It works now, finally. Changed trigger/Entity on the camera to Person instead of Motion, seems to work as intended now :slight_smile:

For future reference, no one can know what was intended unless you tell us. In your first post you clearly said:

That’s all anyone in this community forum could know what was “intended”.
