Hi, I am am having a problem with my bathroom mirror light turning off. This has probably very simple solution but cant find it.

I hav a flow [Shared Flow | Homey](https://homey.app/f/9K7rNf)  
When motion is turned off, light turns off after 900seconds. Is it possible some how to set that is starts countdown from zero if motion is detected again? Now if i go bathroom lights turn on \> i go put for a sec and motion detection is turned off \> countdown to 900 begins \> i go back to bathroom to take a shower etc and lights turn off. What kind of flow I need to avoid this? Thanks.
