The language of this condition is always weird… “On condition it is after 1 hour before sunset” :slight_smile:

So, I think you meant to use an after with a negative offset, not a before:

    type: enters
    zone: zone.home
condition:
  - condition: sun
    after: sunset
    after_offset: '-01:00:00'
action:
  - service: light.turn_on
    target:

FYI: An after sunset condition will not work if you get home after midnight. If that is something that you need, you will need both a before and after:

condition:
  - condition: or
      conditions:
        - condition: sun
          after: sunset
          after_offset: '-01:00:00'
        - condition: sun
          before: sunrise
