it is before sunset with the delay of 20 minutos before

That’s your original automation, which is from 20 minutes after sunset.

5

Does the automation work when you remove the condition?
Set the delay to 10 seconds to test if you havent yet.

6

Yes with out sun condition it work

7

Yes, you are right I change it to -00:20:00, with out the sun condition it works, i will try later if now works. the interesting part is that with sun condition it no work even if I come home at midnight

The sun condition stops/starts at midnight.

If you want a generic when dark then you should use the sun elevation instead, something more like:

condition:
  - condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    attribute: elevation
