Light not turning on after motion is detected a second time

After an evening of real world use i think you are right. It was not really noticeable apart from in the kitchen where even though we were in it the light was still going off way quicker than it should.

So i have changed the flow for the kitchen to include what you said a few posts back

$entities('input_boolean.good_night_good_bye').state = 'on' ? 20 : 300	

I have included the flow for the Kitchen below just so we know where i am right now. I know we was looking at dining room but to be fair i am using the same logic for all the rooms that need it. I will give it some real world testing today / this evening and see if its any better.
