Timer in flow

The way I use it is:
when motion is not detected then turn of light with a delay of 3 minutes.
If motion is detected within those 3 minutes the delay is canceled and started again as soon as the motion sensor doesn't detect motion anymore.
Note: triggering flows with motion sensors is broken in the current software.

when the wallplug is turned on, then send textmessage "time to turn of fryer" with a delay of 30 minutes?
Again, not sure if the flow will work with the current software though.
e.g a trigger that notifies that movement has been detected (start) and also triggers when it has been more than X min/sec since the last movement (stop). We could use this to detect if a washing machine has stopped based on power usage (homey: your washing machine is ready).
At the same time it could function as a (count or cumulative) sensor. e.g count how many minutes you have been watching TV or how often the dishwasher was used
1. turn on the fryer and set variable to 1
2. turn off the fryer and set varaible to 0(with delay of 30min)
3. trigger on variable change to 0 with condition fryer = on give notification
So if you stop the flow after 15 min and you start it 10 minutes later again, the noticed comes then after 5 minutes.
