Turn off switch after x minutes without delay

Configuration
1

Hey,

So I’ve got an aqara door sensor for our balcony door. It should turn on the light (controlled with a shelly switch) after dark for 5 minutes OR until the door is closed again.

Currently I’ve got it set up with a delay for 5 mins, which won’t react to the door being closed early.

I’ve read about platform: state , but didn’t managed to get it working as it may have become obsolete.

Thanks, the wait timer did the trick :slight_smile:

Now I can even simplify the whole automation as well by only watching the doors closed inside the wait trigger.
