Do you prevent the lights from turning off to trigger automation?

Cupertino, January 31, 2021

Hi, I have a Circle ringtone and I added an automation to turn on the outside light for 5 minutes, then to turn it off. The problem is that when the lights go out, it triggers the circle motion detector again, causing the light to turn on, then turn off, then turn on again immediately all night. Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Ideally, I would like to trigger automation only when a person is detected, instead of any movement (the person detection function works very well). Alternatively, I would like the automation to turn off the light after five minutes, then turn it off for 10 seconds before reactivating the automation. I found an old thread on the Apple forum, but no solution: [https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250871883](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250871883) Thanks!
