How can I run a shortcut when an accessory is turned off in HomeKit?

I want to turn one light off 2 minutes after another HomeKit controlled light is turned off. I’ve created a shortcut to turn the second light off after 2 minutes but I don’t see how to trigger that by turning the other light off. I’m using HomeKit and also tried with the Home+6 app.

(iPhone 12 pro max running iOS 18.3)

How to toggle HomeKit light on Lock Screen? Hello, I’d like to toggle one of my HomeKit lights directly on the Lock Screen. Because it takes too much time to do this in control center (slide down at top of screen, tap home, scroll to room, find light). How can I do that? i thought the new iOS 16 Lock Screen widgets have that but no. They only show how many lights are on. i am going crazy with this. Tried third party apps like Widgetsmith or Home widget. Tried Shortcuts. Tried the Today widgets. Have I overlooked anything?

turn off the light after xx seconds [HOMEKIT] Hi, with homekit automation it's possible to do something when a trigger is fired. E.g., I can turn on the "light-2" when the "light-1" is on; it's possible to execute the action after n-seconds. I did not find a way to make a timer that: when the "light-2" is turned on wait n-seconds then turn off "light-1" is this possible?
