You can use the state in the condition as you have used in the trigger.
Use AND condition.

You need to view this more different. :slight_smile: :astonished:

A trigger is something that “starts” your automation, in your case the opening of the door. The next step, to check if both doors are open for x minutes, is what you need as a condition. Will say, something that is a trigger can be as well a condition. :slight_smile:

I’m actually not sure, if the five minutes in the condition are really necessary, but it shouldn’t do any harm either… :slight_smile:

As I see, I’m a little late to the party, but writing the example takes time. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Edit: have to take some words back.
If no time in the condition then action will run if both doors happen to be open.
If condition has time set then will run action if the door was actually open for 5 minutes.

I would not say late to the party but more thorough :slight_smile:
