Force bulb to remain on even after motion detector resets when switch is used to turn on bulb

I use a ST motion sensor to toggle a bulb whenever someone enters a particular room. In that room, there is also a Hue dimmer switch which is also used to toggle the same bulb.
I’m new to HA, and have run into a problem, I can’t resolve.
Whenever the ST sensor resets, and it may reset if someone is in the room and the ST does not detect any motion, the bulb is turned off. Sure I can turn the bulb on using the dimmer switch, but again the ST sensor may turn the bulb off again. This is not what I want. I’d like the bulb to remain on even after the motions sensor resets, if the dimmer switch was used to turn on the bulb. So, my question is this: Is there a way to prevent the bulb from being turned off in this situation? Is there a way to set a “flag” that can be checked by the automation that turns off the bulb? Or is there a better way? Automations are the only tool used for all the devices. I’ve found this post: Disable motion reset. But it seems to me, this should be simpler.
Thanks

I’m using custom component entity-controller for this.

I have an automation for this. I just don’t have access at the moment. I’ve been using it for years and have not needed to change. Basically i use a condition to only run if the light is off. So if the light is on then it does not run so it will never turn off the light.

I was able to get the automation. It might be able to be cleaned up a bit as I have not changed it in a while. Like Homeassistant turn on/off is not necessary, should be light.turn_on/off, etc, and you can probably remove a bit of the logic as it may not apply to you but you should be able to understand the flow and make it work for you.
