Automation for lights and motion sensor based on the time of the day

Hello!

I have 2 separate lights in my kitchen that I am trying to open differently based on the time of the day. The thing is that the automation seems to disregard my condition and goes to a default that I haven’t set up. So for example instead of opening the left kitchen lights it always open the right side lights.

Is there a way to remove that default, or to force the automation to go trough the options and evaluate the conditions?

I would really much appreciate your help.

Check out my code below:
