There are already countless examples here in the forum, I also wrote about this yesterday in the linked post: [Slow Flow - #20 by DirkG](https://community.homey.app/t/slow-flow/79623/20)

However, these flows only work if the Motion Sensor frequently detects more or less significant movements.  
There are also so-called Presence Sensors available which register even the smallest movements, e.g. the [SONOFF Zigbee Human Presence Sensor (SNZB-06P)](https://sonoff.tech/product/gateway-and-sensors/snzb-06p/).  
But of course, it depends on the use case if a Motion Sensor or a Presence Sensor is the better solution.
