Light level automation

Hi! I’m using Home Assistant on Rpi4. I cant get my light level dependant automation to work properly.

I want some lights to turn on when my Philips Hue Motion Sensor detects light below 350 lux for 10 minutes.
As an example: I go to bed at night, light level is 1 lux. A car drives by and it’s lights bring light level over 350 lux, just for a second or two. Now the automation should not go off. It has to to be over 350 lux for 10 minutes. But no!
After 10 minutes the automation will go off and turn on my lights.

I have created a binary_sensor wich turns off below 350 lux to trig the automation. Earlier I had the automation to trig from numeric_state direct from the Hue sensor. Same result though.
Automation made from front end.

I must be doing some simple beginners mistake?
