Help with a simple automation problem

Cupertino, February 23, 2024

I have a pretty basic setup so I don't have much experience with automations. I have ATV 4k, 2 HomePods 2s, Nanoleaf A19 bulbs and some older SYLVANIA bulbs and a Wemo plug for my fan. I recently added an Aqara G2H Pro camera hub that works great. I live in a small "efficiency" apartment, it's basically an old motel converted into an apartment. Since I often wake up at night to use the bathroom, I created an automation that I can't seem to get working properly. I'm hoping someone can see what I need to correct or suggestions to get this working. First I set it to activate from 12:00 to 7:00. When motion is detected for the section when the Bathroom Light is the fixture selected to turn on. I finally stopped after 3 minutes. At first I didn't add the 3 minute off which resulted in the lights turning on as intended and when I went back to bed I would tell Siri to turn off the light. The problem was that it restarted immediately, which is why I added the shutdown after 3 minutes. However, this did not solve my problem. It will turn them off, but they still start up again. There is currently no one else here or any movement to trigger them back. It's definitely something from the automation that isn't working as expected. Any idea? I'm sure it's probably simple and right under my nose and I just miss it. Thanks!
