- service: script.turn_off
data:
entity_id: script.motion_az_off
- service: light.turn_on
data:
entity_id: light.schreibtisch_christian
- service: script.turn_on

          minutes: 5
      - service: light.turn_off
        data:
          entity_id: light.schreibtisch_christian

Hey @teqqy

There should not be a hyphen in front of the script name. Try this…

# turn off lamp after 10 minutes
motion_az_off:
  sequence:
    - delay:
        minutes: 5
    - service: light.turn_off
      data:
        entity_id: light.schreibtisch_christian

Are you using a scripts.yaml file or are you putting everything in the configuration.yaml?
