Why is this failing config check?

Configuration
1

I just cannot get this to pass the config check.

The error relates to the conditions:

Invalid config for [automation]: [condition] is an invalid option for [automation]. Check: automation->trigger->0->condition. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 144). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/automation/

- alias: Motion Sensor North Security Lights On
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.north_motion
    to: 'on'
    condition: 
      condition: or
      conditions:
      - condition: sun
        after: 'sunset'
        before: 'sunrise'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: 'input_boolean.walk_test'
        state: 'on'
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.floodlights_north

Any ideas anyone?

You have 3 lines that are indented too far, lines 6, 7 and 8. Should look like this…

- alias: Motion Sensor North Security Lights On
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.north_motion
    to: 'on'
  condition: 
    condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: sun
        after: 'sunset'
        before: 'sunrise'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: 'input_boolean.walk_test'
        state: 'on'
  action:
    service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.floodlights_north
