There was a small problem with automation script. Try this

alias: Open Gate
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.open_gate
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
  - repeat:
      until:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: input_boolean.open_gate
          state: 'off'
      sequence:
        - service: switch.turn_on
          data: {}
          entity_id: switch.dahua_gate_open
        - delay: '00:00:10'
        - service: switch.turn_on
          data: {}
          entity_id: switch.dahua_gate_open
        - delay: '00:00:10'
mode: single
