Lutron: Automation to cap brightness immediately when on button pressed

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around a solution between Home Assistant automations and Lutron in order to cap the brightness at 40% when turned on between certain hours of the day.

Currently, it goes to max 100% brightness with my Lutron Caseta and then 2 seconds later, it decreases to the desired 40%. I’ve looked through settings in Lutron on the app and tinkered with HA automation settings, but that initial button press always sets it to 100% first. Is there a way to have that initial button press during certain times to be ignored or anything else I could do?
