If you want the light to turn off after 3 minutes no matter what triggered it to turn on, create an automation with a trigger of the light turning on for 3 minutes and an action to turn the light off. Something like this:

description: ""
mode: single
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - light.attic_light
    to:
      - "on"
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 3
      seconds: 0
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: light.turn_off
    metadata: {}
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: light.attic_light

If you want that 3 minute timer only sometimes, then in whatever automation triggers the light to turn on, look at the wait for time to pass action. At the end of the automation you can wait for 3 minutes and then turn the light off.
