If the automation is re-triggered, will it restart the Time Delay?

Yes.

@Ltek

Thus, if the time delay is set to 5 minutes, and the motion sensor gets retriggered at 3 minutes, does the automation “restart” the countdown for the Time Delay or will the first triggering still turn the light off after 5 minutes?

If it get re-triggered then the time delay starts again once the trigger is clear.

@Ltek

I use motion lighting in different rooms, in different way…

1. Must be Manually turned on, then want to keep the light on until N minutes after motion is no longer detected. (this is for most of my rooms)
2. When motion is sensed, the light turns on and stays on until N minutes after motion is no longer detected.

Look at this blueprint. Manual light control with auto OFF and Enable the motion sensor option

@Ltek

These are the ‘core’ of the automations I need… of course, there are variations on some of these based on Time of Day, Lux, etc, in addition to the above descriptions.

I have a few blueprints for different things so make sure you check them out. You will find links to them all in the first post at the top.
