Issues with Automation duration? (Turn off after 10 Seconds)

Hi guys, 

 

I noticed today that there is an issue within my existing automation for the lights to (e.g., motion detected, to turn on for 10 seconds). I tried to turn off and on the lights, create a new automation, etc., but the lights are not turning off after the given time. This is happening for all lights with motion detected automations. 

 

Any ideas how to resolve the issue?

Was the automation triggered during the set effective time?

 

Please run several tests, verify whether the problem is located in this specific combination - "Motion sensor event detected + light bulb turn on for a set time"? What happens if you change a different trigger, a different type of action device (like a smart plug), or a different action skill (turn on, off, or on/off)?
