Im having this automation that works perfect during spring and summer.
But now its getting darker earlier and i want to have the lights fired up earlier as well.
- alias: 'Fönster efter skymning'
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
below: 2.5
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: home
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.status_hemma
state: 'Home'
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id:
- script.skymning
So i would like to get help to have this sensor
{{states.sensor.seasons.state}}
Identifying Spring and Summer to trigger with this condition
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
below: 2.5
But when it is Autumn or Winter i want this trigger
- platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: "-0:20:00"

Don’t get too complicated, Make two automations, and make one conditional on it being spring/summer and the other conditional on being autumn/winter.
I assume you have seen this sensor https://www.home-assistant.io/components/sensor.season/

So this will do the trick?
- alias: 'Fönster efter skymning'
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
below: 2.5
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: home
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.status_hemma
state: 'Home'
- condition: state
value_template: "{{states.sensor.seasons.state != 'Spring, Summer' }}"
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id:
- script.skymning
- alias: 'Fönster efter skymning'
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: "-0:20:00"
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: home
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.status_hemma
state: 'Home'
- condition: state
- condition: state
value_template: "{{states.sensor.seasons.state != 'Autumn, Winter' }}"
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id:
- script.skymning

I was a bit fast on copy/paste…
This is a code that doesnt get any errors at least
- alias: 'Window at evening spring'
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sun.sun
value_template: '{{ state.attributes.elevation }}'
below: 2.5
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: home
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.status_hemma
state: 'Home'
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.season.state in ['spring','summer'] }}"
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id:
- script.skymning
- alias: 'Window at evening Winter'
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: sun
event: sunset
offset: "-0:20:00"
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: home
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.status_hemma
state: 'Home'
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.season.state ['autumn','winter'] }}"
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id:
- script.skymning

It’s going to be ugly. Only a condition will work for that using the sun.sun platform. Also, assuming that the seasons are: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sun.sun
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: >
{% if states('sensor.season') in ['Spring','Summer'] %}
{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.elevation <= 2.5 }}
{% else %} # Autumn, Winter
# only move forward when we go from above to below.
{{ trigger.from_state.state == 'above_horizon' and trigger.to_state.state == 'below_horizon' }}
{% endif %}
- condition: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: home
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.status_hemma
state: 'Home'
action:
- service: script.turn_on
entity_id:
- script.skymning
but as @nickrout said, you could make 2 automations and it wouldn’t get this ugly.

Thank you @nickrout and @petro now i have two solutions to test
That will make a big plus on the WAF factor if it works
