Automation - Wait for Trigger. Am I Doing This Wrong?

Trying to get a simple automation up and running, sure I’m either misunderstanding the Wait for Trigger, or something else small I’m overlooking. The first trigger & action happens, but stops there. The light never turns off after the motion goes back to cleared.

Here is the desired basic outcome (eventually when tested, will move it to be after sunset/before sunrise and probably restart instead of single mode):

• Motion detected in kitchen, turn on kitchen lights
• When motion clears, turn off light 5 mins later

I’m doing this in UI - but here is the yaml it spits out.

  alias: Kitchen - Lighting w Motion

      to: 'off'
      for: 00:05:00
    timeout: ''
  - type: turn_off

Thanks!
