Can the porch lights go from 50% to 100% when someone comes home and return to 50% five minutes later?

Cupertino, March 5, 2021

We just put some Phillips Hue bulbs in our house, one on the front of the house and one on the side of the house. The first automation that turns them to 50% blue at "sunset" works well. The second automation to stop them at 23:30 works well. For fun, I'd like to make them teal and reach 100% when someone gets home. This bit works fine. "Stop after 5 minutes" does nothing. Is there any way to refresh them a little when someone comes home and then sends them back to their previous state? (Using HomeKit, I mean. I know Home Assistant is one thing, I just didn't get there.)
