I have this rule that turns on some outdoor lights when the dogs go out to the bathroom. As you can see, it turns off after 60 seconds. Ideally, I’d like the rule to re-trigger so the times extends another 60 seconds if motion occurs again during the initial 60 seconds. Is this possible?
How about removing the 60 seconds delay and the actions to turn the lights off, but adding another trigger - the motion has stayed inactive for 60 seconds. Then you would add another IF condition in the rule flow to check if the motion status is active or inactive. If active, turn lights on, else turn lights off.
So the lights will be turned on when motion is detected, but will only be turned off if no motion for 60 seconds. It should meet your automation goal well in this way.
