I have a similar needs as you and with almost the same hardware. But my flow setup uses tags and segregation of flows but I hope this can give you the idea on how to do what you want - [https://homey.app/f/2odrMa](https://homey.app/f/2odrMa) Easy enough so far, when the garage is active turn everything on and start a timer for 10 minutes. [https://homey.app/f/uwQpMa](https://homey.app/f/uwQpMa) When the timer runs out - turn very thing off. [https://homey.app/f/UR5qMa](https://homey.app/f/UR5qMa) When I press the garage button - reset the timer which turns everything off to start counting down from 1 hour. [https://homey.app/f/JvYrMa](https://homey.app/f/JvYrMa) I also have a flow for when the switch is pressed twice - completely disable the timer. So the garage light doesn’t automatically turn off. This is similar to what you want to do. [https://homey.app/f/L48wMa](https://homey.app/f/L48wMa) But just in case I forget to turn it off - at 2am turn it off for me. — Rather then disable the timer I have been meaning to instead disable the flow if I double tap, and then reenable each night at 2am when it does the sanity check. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/simple-lights-turning-on-off-based-on-motion/10889)._
