Payload between range for 5 minutes

I have an energy monitoring plug on my dumb washer. When my washer throws an error, the watts stay between 22 and 27. I would like to know how to see if the payload stays between 22 - 27 for 5 minutes? I have no idea where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you know how to check for in that range? Get that bit working first. Tip: look at the Switch node.

Here is a example using a trigger node, change the 5 seconds to 5 mins in the trigger node.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for your answer. I never thought to use a switch node.

Thank you for answer. Actually seeing it, helped me figure out how it works. I really need to look at the options for the switch node. The timer also would have stumped me. I definitely would have been posting for more help.
