The ability for the Wyze plug to be turned off after a selected amount of time when it has been turned on by motion detection. This would be great when the camera picks up movement in the middle of the night for a light to turn on and then automatically shut off after 20-40 seconds.

You should be able to accomplish this by creating another Device Trigger Rule. For the trigger, set “plug has been on for X minutes”. For the action, “turn off plug”.
