Need guidance on a motion sensor

Configuration
1

I have a automation setup to use a P1 motion sensor. It works as expected… although with one issue. So basically I have it set to detect motion up to 10pm at 100% brightness. After 10p until 4am, if motion is detected, it will use 5% brightness.

The problem for example is this… wife wakes up after 11pm, lights turn on at 5% from motion sensor… say she wants to tell Alexa to temp. use 100% brightness to see something… motion sensor re-triggers already re-running the script and forcing the bulbs back to 5%.

Any thoughts?

For the on action, add a condition of the light being off.

ah why didn’t I think of that. I actually used that somewhere else. But in a different scenario. Thank you so much! That should do it.
