Automations for multiple button presses

Hi there,
I am trying to set up an automation for my bedroom light switch (Homematic wireless swicht integrated via Homegear; working) and my Hue lights to do the following:

• off pressed:
  • when on: turn lights off
  • when off: nightlight scene

When the lights are off and I press the off switch (expecting to switch to nightlight scene), the nightlight goes on for a brief moment, then the light go out again.

I am suspecting that the trigger (homematic.keypress) stays active for two long so that the first automation is triggered right after the lights went on and its condition (lights on) are met.

How do I prevent this from happening?

Here are the two involved automations:

- alias: 'bedroom_lights_off'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: homematic.keypress
    event_data:
      name: KEQ1101060
      channel: 2
      param: PRESS_SHORT
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: light.lightstrip_bedroom
    state: 'on'
  action:
  - service: light.turn_off
    entity_id:
      - light.lightstrip_bedroom

- alias: 'bedroom_lights_nightlight'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: homematic.keypress
    event_data:
      name: KEQ1101060
      channel: 2
      param: PRESS_SHORT
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: light.lightstrip_bedroom
    state: 'off'
  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data:
      entity_id: light.lightstrip_bedroom
      brightness: 1
      color_temp: 500
