Mqtt automation after 30 seconds

Hello,
i have a motion detector that is not working like i was expected and I did a bit of automation
Indeed somehow it detects motion every 5 seconds, but goes to the off status after 90 seconds Image may be NSFW.

So my plan is to store the timestamp of the last motion it received and when the current time - stored time > 30, turn off the light

basically this is what i did :
if motion detected, publish the current timestamp to an mqtt topic
and i added a sensor (test) that has the value of the mqtt topic

but i didn’t found a way to automate the end of the process :’(

I tried something like this

  trigger:
  - above: '30'
    entity_id: sensor.test
    platform: numeric_state
    value_template: '{{ now().strftime("%s")| int - states(sensor.test) | int  }}'
  condition: []
  action:
  - entity_id: light.lumiere_salle_de_bain_du_bas
    service: light.turn_off

any clue what i’m missing ?

Thanks a lot in advance Image may be NSFW.
