Motion Detector - pause countown to turn off light when motion is detected still

Configuration

Also you cant use this service template if you are adjusting the brightness.

The light turn off action does not accept a brightness value. This will generate errors and stop your automation.

Use Dave’s original automation and just change the brightness to include the template.

Means I cannot use variables here (service: light.turn_{{ trigger.to_state.state }})

So I have just to create an own service for each action (on/off)?

Ah you already put in an example above, just saw. Yeah thats what I mean I guess.

No that will immediately turn off your lights after turning them on. At least it would if it was indented correctly.

Just use what I posted above.

yes I will try it now

Hi.
Yes it seems like working and though the restart option, e.g. when working in the basemant to 20 Minutes, the light does not went out since each restarting will set off the 2 minute down-counter again. Right?

Thes was heloing a lot @tom_l .

Hi,

after some time observation - the issue that the light-bulbs are went off to early even though passing the sensors in very short Intervalls (seconds). I really do not know what I’m doing wrong here. The bulbs are just supposed to switch off AFTER the last passing of one of the three sensors for at least two minutes.

these is the yaml file, the other ones, there are looking exactly the same except for the motion sensors id of course.

Am I missing something?
