@DirkG I guessed wrong, but I didn’t get any confirmation, until now that is 🙃

@Geir_DANIELSEN  
I’ve also moments when the light turns off while I’m still in the room  
I think this flow reduces that quite a bit, by adding a timer;  
Every time the zone is re-activated, the timer is paused  
When the zone is inactive, start the timer with a duration of X seconds, and the light turns off when the timer is finished:
