Need some guidance with motion-based plus condition based lighting

Configuration
1

The goal is to have the living room lamps turn on when motion is detected from 12am to 9AM if nothing is playing on TV. But it never get triggered for whatever reason unknown to me.

When i check the history i see movement but nothing gets triggered. Please Help.

  action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    data: {}
    entity_id: group.living_room_lamps
  mode: single

conditions are by default and thus both has to be true at the same time. I dont think that is possible.

Thanks for the help … Is there a better way to approached this. like is there a way to turn multiple states into one. I ended up creating multiple automation one for “paused” and one for “idle” and that worked right away.

You can define a not condition:

You can use OR and AND conditions, like explained in the documentation. This can even be done using the UI editor:

PS: Actually you can define multiple states in a state condition, so this should work, too. Also, omitting before: or after: in a time condition is from/to midnight

condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: media_player.living_room_2
    state: 
      - idle
      - paused
  - condition: time
    before: 09:00:00
