So I bought several presence sensors and they are working just fine I just want to change the PIR timeout.
I created this automation that turns on a light when it detects PIR movement and when PIR movement is not dectected anymore it turns off the light (only when it's dark).
The PIR by default sends the OFF signal after around 15 seconds so it turns the light off after 15 seconds.
I would like to increase the 15 seconds to something like 30 seconds, so I tried to change the "Fading Time" but it doesn't do anything, any help?

I think you'd be better off modifying the sensor's configuration directly
