Hi,

Please help, I don't know how to solve this:

So have a door sensor and a light.  
If the door opening the light is turned on and after 4 minutes turn off auto. If I open again before the 4 minutes expire the trigger extended delay and wait another 4 minutes It is ok.

 ![NodeRedDoorLight](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/f/7/f75fbf95e4087f671844002780b7bb3bb5486eea.jpeg)

But I want that if this light turned on manually and after open the door don't need to turn off the light after 4 minutes. So I need that check the light state and if it on for more than 4 minutes stop trigger to turn off.

Check the State Node, you can track the State of lights and sensors, makes it way easier to realize such szenarios
