Motion Activated Light, but with conditions

Configuration Blueprints
20

Since Edward created the solution for this, HA has added a condition selector.
Here is exactly what Edward wrote, but instead of locked in conditions, I inserted the condition selector code, so the user can write their own condition when they set up their automation. Or just leave it blank, and it will run without conditions…

blueprint:
  name: Motion-activated Light (With condition selector that can be set by user at automation build.)
  description: Turn on a light when motion is detected.
  domain: automation
  input:
    motion_entity:
      name: Motion Sensor
      selector:
        entity:
          filter:
            domain: binary_sensor
            device_class: motion
    light_target:
      name: Light
      selector:
        target:
          entity:
            domain: light
    additional_conditions:
      name: Additional conditions

        Extra conditions you may want to add to this automation 
        (Example: Home occupied, TV on, etc)
      default: []
      selector:
        condition:
    no_motion_wait:
      name: Wait time
      description: Time to leave the light on after last motion is detected.
      default: 120
      selector:
        number:
          min: 0
          max: 3600
