Convert a platform trigger to a condition

Configuration
1

Hi All,

I have some platform triggers that i want convert to a condition. For example:

    - platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.woonkamer
      to: 
        - "standby"
        - "idle"
        - "paused"
      for: "00:00:05"
      id: appletv_standby

I know the condition without the ‘for’ but how do i manage this with the ‘for’?
The ‘id’ part will be useless then.

Based on the examples shown in the documentation for State Condition, this should work:

condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: media_player.woonkamer
    state:
      - "standby"
      - "idle"
      - "paused"
    for: "00:00:05"

There is still an error. I want use them in a “choose” and then this must be the lines:

 - conditions:
     - condition: state
       entity_id: media_player.woonkamer
       state:
         - "playing"
       for: "00:00:05"

Without the “for” everything is ok. I need the 5 seconds delay…

I now solved it with this:

sequence:
  - wait_template: "{{ not is_state('media_player.woonkamer', 'playing')}}"
    timeout: "00:00:05"
    continue_on_timeout: true
