Good morning. I’m having a weird problem regarding motion controlled lighting. I have tried a couple different blueprints and I have the same results regardless of the blueprint. I should mention that these switches were used previously in smartthings for a similar automation. I set them up to turn on when motion is detected and then off after a period of time. I have some that are longer wait times (ie. 15 minutes on one and 45 on another). Regardless of the automation, or the room…the lights turn off after about a minute and a half (90 seconds). Nothing seems to “fix” this (ie. different blueprint, different motion detectors, different switch, brands etc). Any suggestion on what I could do to rectify. Below is a copy of the blueprint code I’m using. And also a copy of one of the automations.
