Which device controls the "Off" part of an automation?

Cupertino, January 17, 2020

Let's say I have an automation like this:

When the 2 minutes are up, the Mud Room is supposed to light up.

Sometimes I do it, others always stay forever.

Which device is responsible for counting 120 seconds since the last recording of the movement and remember to disable them?

In my case, this is a Hue Motion sensor, connected to a Hue Bridge and I have several HomeKit hubs that are (theoretically) within range and with minimal obstructions.

So, the Hue Motion sensor fails? HomeKit Center? Or the bulbs in the Mud room itself?

Plus, this doesn't just happen in that room. Most of these "Stop by" automations simply do not work consistently. I even have some that have never stopped correctly once.
