No, there is no option for this. You will have to do that in a template binary sensor. This templae will have to look at your ceiling light and have a delay OFF. You then use this template in the bypass rather than your ceiling light.
Something like this
template:
- binary_sensor:
- name: "Ceiling Light Delayed"
state: >
{{ is_state('light.ceiling_light', 'on') }}
delay_off:
seconds: 5

Here is my vision. 3 sensors.
The reason I want the no longer triggered so that I can just use person detection because some times I want the garage door open but I donât need the lights to remain off if Iâm not in there. Or maybe i need to setup a sensor group or whatever youâve talked about. but regardless I gotta figure out how to trigger that helper to change after 5mins. Really appreciate your help and everything youâve done.
Hello,
Iâm experiencing an issue with my automation. The lights turn on when motion is detected and turn off after one minute of no motion, which works as expected. However, at the moment they turn off, they immediately switch back on again.
It almost looks like the turn-off and turn-on happen at the same time. After that, the automation remains in the âstill runningâ state for about 20 minutes, even though there is no motion detected. I eventually have to manually stop the automation and turn off the lights myself.
Could this be related to dynamic lighting? Is it possible that when the timer finishes and the lights turn off, a dynamic lighting update runs at the same time and causes them to turn back on?
Would using the âdynamic toggle helperâ help prevent this behavior?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

@Blacky, is there a chance to add this to the blueprint?
Adding helper solved this problem! Thank you for pointing this out.
Open is ON in home assistant, so change your trigger to state.
When opened it will turn ON and then off in 5 min. If you close the door within the 5 min it will still need to time out.
template:
- trigger:
- trigger: state
entity_id: cover.door_1
to: "on"
binary_sensor:
- name: "Garage Door Auto Off"
device_class: garage_door
icon: mdi:garage-open-variant
auto_off:
minutes: 5
state: "true"
If you would like it to go OFF when you close the door but if the door is open it will go ON for only 5 min.
template:
- trigger:
- trigger: state
entity_id: cover.door_1
to: "on"
id: "t1"
- trigger: state
entity_id: cover.door_1
to: "off"
binary_sensor:
- name: "Garage Door Auto Off"
device_class: garage_door
icon: mdi:garage-open-variant
auto_off:
minutes: 5
state: >
{% if trigger.id == 't1' %}
on
{% else %}
off
{% endif %}

In Night Light Control could you please select If lights are ON, adjust the lights when crossing over and test it please.
Blacky
I try never to say never, I will put it on the list of suggestions. In the meantime creating the template would be the fastest way to achieve what your after.

Hello, i want to let the light on, wenn my pc is on.
So i have a devite tracker for my pc, present and absent.
In the option
Bypass Switch - Keep the Lights Current State i put the device tracker from my pc in.
But when my pc is present, the light will noch stay on.
What make i wrong?
THX
The state must be ON or OFF not present and absent. You could create a template binary sensor so when your PC is present it will be on. You have to check the state of the PC in developer tools and match it exactly as it may not be present it may be home. Once you have this template binary sensor you would use this.
{{ is_state('device_tracker.your_pc', 'present') }}

I have 4 copies of the blueprint running ⌠It looks like with v8.5 theyâre all showing âUnknown entity selectedâ under the Scenes & Scripts - Toggle Helper". I donât use the helper nor any scripts/scenes in home assistant.
The good news is that 3 of the automations are still working â however the one that I use the most in my office has stopped turning on/off the office light. Trace shows that it is failing to reach the light but I can turn it on/off with no issue - name has not changed.
Iâm upgrading to the latest version of HASS and HA Iâll update this post if it fixes anything.
Edit: With HA/HASS upgrade the office automation fixed itself.
Edit2: The âUnknown entityâ has been reported to HomeAssistant
We have reported this to Home Assistant and looks like they may be looking at fixing it 
. Thanks to @karwosts and @wendevlin
EDIT:
Looks like this has now been resolve and will probably be fixed in the next release.

Slight modification. After some trial and error I got it working using the following code. Thank you very much for you help!
template:
- trigger:
- trigger: state
entity_id: cover.door_1
to: "open"
id: "t1"
- trigger: state
entity_id: cover.door_1
to: "closed"
binary_sensor:
- name: "Garage Door Auto Off"
device_class: garage_door
icon: mdi:garage-open-variant
auto_off:
minutes: 5
state: >
{% if trigger.id == 't1' %}
on
{% else %}
off
{% endif %}
Am I right that the latest combo of Hass and the Blueprint 8.5 the restart protection doesnât work? SO if a light is activated, then a restart, the light will stay on forever? Sure it used to pick up and still shut off these lights, will add the separate blueprint as a back up for auto lights off.
Hey @Blacky thank you for your answer to my question about transitions.
I would like to ask if youâre planning a specific trigger about doors. Thatâs my scenario:
I guess I could template a sensor that stays on for a given time after the door has been open, and then goes off, but thatâs a common scenario for me (and perhaps others will find it handy) and I would like to avoid to template a dozen of sensors to maintain
I would like to use a presence sensor as a âBypass switchâ, i have a specific need, i have a âguest bedroomâ in the middle of a multi generation house, there are 4 doors leading in that room.
I would like the light to open when any of the 4 doors is opened BUT only if the âpresence sensorâ indicates that the room is empty.
I want to make sure that if anyone opens any of the doors and someone is sleeping in the room the light donât turn on.
Would anyone have an idea if the blueprint have anyway to handle this ? (If the only way is to have a helper device, I would keep my actual 6 automations, I am in the process of streamlining all my automations)
thanks
Yeah I get it but please understand that this blueprint is 10034 lines and adding this one option will be very complex. It can be better / cleaner to develop a trigger that suits you needs and then group the triggers together using the template you suggested.
Here is a link that I showed someone else how to create this template click here. It was for something else they wanted to do but would be the same template you would need. The second example may be the one your after.
Blacky
You would need to create a template binary sensor that will only turn ON when a door is opened and no presence is detected. You will then need to resolve the rest of the logic and what happens to turn it OFF⌠or you could just keep your 6 automation if it is working already.

@Blacky hi, awesome work! Is it possible to configure sensor light so it works like:
main light from sunset to 9pm;
night light from 9pm to 6am BUT also night glow is active from 9pm to midnight
?
