Help with timers

I’m embarrassed to ask this, but I can’t get this to work. I have a timer timer.office_lights and I want the lights to turn off when the timer finishes. When the lights go on the timer starts, but when the timer finishes nothing happens.

Help please (set to 10s for testing):

Thanks in advance for any help

timer:
  office_lights:
    duration: '00:00:10'

- alias: Lights - Office Lights Timer
  trigger:
        platform: state
        entity_id: light.office
        to: 'on'        
  action:
      - service: timer.start
        data:
            entity_id: timer.office_lights
        
- alias: Lights - Office Lights Off
  trigger: 
        platform: event
        event_type: timer.finished
        event_data:
          entity_id: timer.office_lights 
  action:
        service: light.turn_off
        entity_id: light.office
