Replicate "for" in NR?

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

I have a light sensor that I use to control when my lights turn on/off. I measure this every 1 min and sometimes on a cloudy day, it can go up/down from one minute to the next. Given this, I only want to turn on my light after the light level has been consistently below 350 for 10 mins or more.

In HASS, I do this with the “for” logic. How can I replicate the “for” in NR? Thanks.

  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.light_level
    below: 350
    for: 00:10:00
  action:
    entity_id: light.kitchen
    service: light.turn_on

Thanks Kermit! This seems to work… I’ve been scratching my head trying to use the stoptimer function!
