That version isn’t mine and contains an error from tamsy’s example. Both sequence blocks are over-indented.

For your convenience, here it is:

- alias: Turn on/off Main Bathroom Light using sensor4
  trigger:
    - platform: mqtt
      topic: "zigbee2mqtt/IKEA Sensor 4"
      payload: true
      value_template: "{{ value_json.occupancy }}"
  action:
    - choose:
      - conditions:
        - condition: time
          after: '01:00:00'
          before: '06:00:00'
        - condition: state
          entity_id: light.master_bathroom
          state: "off"
        sequence:
        - service: light.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: light.master_bathroom
          data:
            brightness: 35
            color_temp: 554
        - delay:
            minutes: 3
        - service: light.turn_off
          target:
            entity_id: light.master_bathroom
      - conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: light.master_bathroom
          state: "off"
        sequence:
        - service: light.turn_on
          target:
            entity_id: light.master_bathroom
          data:
            brightness: 255
            color_temp: 225
        - delay:
            minutes: 3
        - service: light.turn_off
          target:
            entity_id: light.master_bathroom
      default: []
  mode: restart

Thank you. I moved the sequence back 2 spaces and now the error is done.

Thank a million for the help. Where can I read more about the indentation rules for yaml? If you have any good resources I would appreciate it very much,
