Detect Person Cleared for 30 Sec, Bring Lights Down

[carmine ingot]

I've got an automation that not working right.

Here's what I have working.

When:
When my Reolink Doorbell person detection changed.

And If:
Between sunset and sunrise.

Choose:
Option 1:
Conditions:
Reolink Doorbell Person Sensor Detected.

Actions:
  1. Save a snapshot of the front door lights and the drive way lights (front_door_snapshot).
  2. Activate Front Door Person scene.

Option 2:
Conditions:
Reolink Doorbell Person Sensor Cleared.

Actions:
  Activate front_door_snapshot scene.

But I don't want option 2 to trigger as soon as the doorbell person sensor clears. I've set the option 2 trigger to "Reolink Doorbell Person Sensor Cleared for 30 sec" and it breaks the automation. I don't want a wait 30 sec in the actions because it triggers the snapshot scene before the person might be out of the view. Anybody have and idea?

have 2 triggers with ID's
one is sensor becomes detected
two is sensor becomes clear for 30 s

then use "triggered by" as your conditions on your choose block

This works.

something like this is what I was suggesting

    to: "on"

    id: cleared-for-30s
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 30
conditions:
  - condition: sun
    before: sunrise
    after: sunset
actions:
  - choose:
      - conditions:

        sequence:

            data:

Just tried that and it worked. Just need the 30 seconds in a different spot. Thank you for the help. Now I can go to sleep. It's 12:36am here.
