Need Help Automating lights with Multisensor6, NanoSwitch and Timer

Configuration

1

Hello
I’m new to Home Assistant and for the last week I’ve been learning about how to create automations.
I’ve got a Rpi4 with a aeotec z-wave dongle which controls a multisensor 6 and a nano switch 5 all from aeotec.

The nano switch didn’t fit in the wall behind the switch so I’ve installed it in the ceiling, just before the light.
I have been trying to obtain the following scenario for my setup:

  • Light switch on OR motion detection on = Light on for x minutes
  • After that any motion detection flag/ event from sensor = restarts the same timer (extends duration).
  • And lastly a timer.finished event OR light switch off = timer.cancel and switch light off

I’ve been playing with this for a few days now and couldn’t find an example to fully understand.
Could someone please let me know what I’m doing wrong ? Or at least point me in the right direction?

Thank you.
