Can you do an IF this than THAT with a HomKit automation?

Cupertino, April 27, 2024

I have an Aqara doorbell and it's quite easy to make an automation that if it sees motion it will turn on the outside lights for 5 min. The problem is if the lights are ALREADY ON when the five minutes are up, I think it will just turn them off.

If they're already on, I don't want them to stop in five minutes. So is there a way to NOT turn the lights off if they were already on before the motion detection event?
