You could probably use a subflow to put all the common logic in one place, then use an input for which ‘area’ motion was sensed in. Check out this post: https://thewindev.net/creating-subflows-in-node-red
I get that concept but I’m still new to node-red and could not find an example. I tried to find a way to send in the message payload what sensor was triggered.
A lot of assumptions were made here but if your entity ids are similarly named you can use one flow it all.
sensor.garage_motion
input_number.garage_duration
timer.garage_timer
input_boolean.garage_occupied

If you don’t have similar named entity ids you can map the motion sensor to the others.

Since I don’t know what your function node and some of the others are doing I just made a subflow that accepts an area entity id and a duration and sends a push notification. Hopefully importing and experimenting with it should give you an understanding of subflows with inputs.
