Lighting on with motion

#1

How do I setup a piston to turn on a light when motion is detected and if motion is detected for one minute or longer to leave the light on for 5 minutes, if motion is still detected leave the light on if not turn it off

If you search around for lighting pistons you will find many examples but what you are looking for is pretty simple:

If motion sensor changes to active        <-- trigger
then
  with light
     turn on
  end with
end if
if motion sensor stays inactive for 5 minutes       <-- trigger
then
  with light
    turn off
  end with
end if

Switching the delays in the middle of processing is not so easy with motion sensors. You could be in a room vacuuming (for example), and there will still be moments when the sensor is inactive.

In a nutshell, the likelihood that the first minute will “stay active for the entire duration” is very slim.
(it depends on the sensitivity & placement of your sensor, as well as the device handler’s timeout period)

I think you will have better success if you think of an alternative way to switch the delays to a longer duration. (for example, when the door is closed, as seen here)
