Trying to restart timer from second sensor

Hey Everyone,
I am a little stuck on a timer for my hallway. I have a 2 way lighting circuit that works fine in HA and a timer that turns off the light after 2 mins, that also works fine. What I can not figure out is how to restart the timer if movement is detected by a PIR ‘On’.
Here is my automation-:

#Hallway Timer
- alias: Turn off hallway light 2 minutes after last movement
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.hall_lights, binary_sensor.hall_pir
    to: 'on'
    for:
      minutes: 2
  action:
    service: input_boolean.turn_off
    entity_id: input_boolean.2way_toggle5

The binary_sensor.hall_lights is a current sensor that actually tells me when the light is physically ‘On’ and the other binary sensor is the PIR.
Am I correct in saying that if the PIR sensor goes to ‘On’ it will restart the 2 min timer?

Just for info, I am using the input_boolean as a virtual switch for the 2 way lighting.

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers
Simon
