What I think you want to do is create an entity in the Helper Templates.
Go to Devices/Services and select Helper tab. Create a Timer helper with your door contact sensor and 30 minute countdown, then use that in your automation to trigger the lights.
The Timer should reset every time the contact sensor goes off so you won’t have repeating automations going off.
Here is an example code I made for my door and my couch light:
alias: Door close light off

trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: timer.finished
event_data:
entity_id: timer.smartlock_timer
id: Timer Finished
- type: not_opened
platform: device
device_id: xxxxxx
entity_id: binary_sensor.u_bolt_pro_z_wave_smart_lock_current_status_of_the_door
domain: binary_sensor

- type: opened
platform: device
device_id: xxxxxxx
entity_id: binary_sensor.u_bolt_pro_z_wave_smart_lock_current_status_of_the_door
domain: binary_sensor

condition: []

You can replace the devices above and timer helper with your entities, although you can do all of this through the UI as well. You can follow this and it should lead you right to where you need to be.
