Sun condition should be easy to set up for automation, but I always end up using state condition.

If this is what I suspect, then it is a known issue:
opened 12:10PM - 26 Apr 22 UTC
integration: sun
### The problem
The Sun integration has two conflicting conditions for night.… As seen here:
The first condition
```
condition:
- condition: sun
after: sunset
before: sunrise
```
always returns false.
The second condition:
```
condition:
condition: or
conditions:
- condition: sun
after: sunset
- condition: sun
before: sunrise
```
Does return true at night.
I attempted to remove the first condition from the documentation in a PR but was told by Frenk that if the first condition is not returning true at night it is an issue with the sun integration. See: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/22486

I’ve read up on a couple of the bugs in the issues github, but most everyone is talking about conflicts between two different statements (before sunset and before sunrise for example). But I’m having problems with just trying to set up a Sun condition of “after sunset” in the web UI when editing an automation. Even running the test from the hamburger menu says the condition does not pass. I just updated to the latest versions (Home Assistant 2022.11.4) and the tests are still broken. Are we talking about the same bug?
