Turn Off entrance light after 5 minutes

Configuration

I have the same automation. You can use ‘for’ in your trigger so that it triggers when something has been in the current state ‘for’ an amount of time, in my case 10 minutes:

    - alias: "Buitenlamp uit na 10 minuten"
      trigger:
        platform: state
        entity_id: light.voordeur
        from: 'off'
        to: 'on'
        for:
          hours: 0
          minutes: 10
          seconds: 0
      condition:
        condition: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.fibaro_multisensor_hal_sensor
        state: 'off'
      action:
        service: light.turn_off
        data:
          entity_id: light.voordeur
          transition: 30

I had to do it this way because the light is also controlled by another automation and I needed the condition.
