So in HS, I've created two devices: "Imaginary Device: i Front Door" and "Imaginary Device: j Garage"
(Event 1): Then, a resetting event (If Sunset, OR if turning off specific lights), turn "i" and "j" to off
(Event 2 and more as wanted): Light on event (if "i" changed to on AND if light is off AND if time is nighttime), turn on appropriate light(s), then turn off "i" and light(s) and after a time (I chose 45 Seconds)
1) From ifttt.com, while logged in, in the upper right, click on the down arrow, and SELECT "New Applet"
2) Click on the blue "+this" in the middle of your screen
3) Search/select Ring Service
4) Choose the trigger (Motion or Ring), and appropriate device on next screen
5) Click on the blue "+that"
6) Select "Turn on a device"
7) Choose the appropriate "Imaginary" device, then click create
I found that Running an event directly from IFTTT made it tougher (?impossible) to pay mind to present status (if the lights are on, I don't want to run an event that ends up turning them off). Also, generally a short delay of less than 5 seconds.
I think that makes some sense, if not, maybe I'll have the notifications setup right...
