blueprint:
  name: Motion-Activated Light Control
  description: >
    Turns lights on when motion is detected and keeps them on for a specified duration
    after motion stops. Includes an optional quiet hours period where lights will not
    turn on automatically (but can still be controlled manually).
    
    Features:
    - Multiple light support
    - Configurable timeout after motion stops
    - Optional quiet hours (e.g., nighttime) when lights won't turn on
    - Brightness control during activation
    - Option to only activate when lights are currently off
