No Motion Light Switch Off

Configuration
1

Hi all

I have a light in the hallway that has a few triggers. It can be triggered by opening the front door, the porch door, or by a motion sensor in the hall.

Using a combination of toggles I have got this system to work for me 99% of the time. There is an edge case that I can’t quite figure out however.

Usually, when you open the front door and/or porch door you will then enter the hallway, thus triggering the motion sensor. I then have a trigger configured to switch off the light if the motion sensor is “Clear” for 2minutes. I use “triggered-by” for this and it works great.

However, if you open the door, thus turning on the light, but do not enter the hallway, the light will remain on indefinitely. It never receives the “triggered-by” as the sensor has not toggled from Clear to Detect and back to Clear.

So my question is, is there a way to sample a sensor and determine how long it has been in a state? As it stands, I need the Detect → Clear state change to trigger the automation. I would like a “if the sensor has been clear for at least 2 minutes then trigger”.

Does that make sense? Probably not… Sorry!
