Automation Help - Add a delay before testing conditions

I am using the automation editor integration for writing my automatons. All is going well so far. However, I have now hit a blocker.

I am seeking to trigger an automation, wait 5 minutes before testing the conditions, and then initiate the action based on the conditions being met.

Where do I add the delay/ wait?

Here is the yaml the automation editor has created for me so far:

alias: Heating Night Mode
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: binary_sensor.alarm_set_status_2
    from: 'off'
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: person.john
    state: home
  - condition: or
    conditions:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: person.cath
      state: home
  - condition: or
    conditions:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: person.elizabeth
      state: home
  action:
  - data:
      hvac_mode: auto
      temperature: 16
    entity_id: climate.wiser_central_heating_zone
    service: climate.set_temperature
  - data:
      hvac_mode: auto
      temperature: 16
    entity_id: climate.wiser_lounge
    service: climate.set_temperature

I’ve searched the cookbooks and examples but can’t find anything that seems similar - specifically the delay before testing the location condition.

Thanks

John
