Flow using door sensor to turn on lights, then back off

@Edwin_D, you’re absolutely right. The delay doesn’t stopp. So in this example the light turns off after 1 Minute, if the door is opened the second time after 6 min (within in the delay time) again.
Don’t know if this behavior depends on the used app, but I guess not. I used the Fibaro app resp. Fibaro devices.
One way the flows might look:

Flow 1 (Open door)
When…
– The contact alarm has been activated
Then…
– Turn on light
– Start Timer “Storeroom” with a duration of 7 min

Flow 2 (Close door)
When…
– The contact alarm has gone off
Then…
– Turn off light
– Stop Timer “Storeroom”

Flow 3 (Door stays open)
When…
– Timer “Storeroom” expired
Then…
– Turn off light

@jpcams, for this scenario you need a timer app. There are several apps in the app store, so it’s your choice. I use the Chronograph app, as Edwin already suggested.
