Simple "AND" statement

I would be surprised if that were true.

@123

it didn’t truly pass config check despite the ‘configuration valid’ message

@francisp

Create a 3rd motion sensor

good idea.

@123

Chalk it up to one of Home Assistant’s quirks.

Back to the drawing board.

@arun2118

good idea.

The example I posted above does exactly the same thing without the need for a Template Binary Sensor. Not sure why you’re looking to make the automation reliant on more entities when it already has what it needs to get the job done.

@arun2118

Back to the drawing board.

In the interim, after executing Check Configuration, look for the persistent notification it may generate. Otherwise you may be misled to believe everything is AOK.

I though if I combine into one sensor then the two minute timer will start after the last motion sensor is activated.

Yes I see now the notification.

I somehow mixing everything up got here.

I’ll try again tomorrow

The Template Binary Sensor is optional; a Template Trigger can do the same thing.

This will trigger when both binary_sensors have changed to off and have maintained that state for at least 2 minutes.

- alias: 'Motion Lighting Garage turn light off'
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.inside_motion_1','off') and is_state('binary_sensor.inside_motion_2','off') }}"
    for: '00:02:00'
  action:
  - service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.g_inlight
