Coming over from Homekit Controller and trying to convert a simple automation I have there. How do I include the "AND" logic to say "between Sunrise +(insert time) and Sunset +(insert time)?
#Automation that runs between Sunrise (+04:00:00) and Sunset (+01:30:00) Example please?

A sunrise trigger to turn do something and a sunset trigger to do something
Nothing happens between them

Okay, so what I want is:
Trigger: Motion
And If between Sunrise(+4:00) and Sunset(+1:30)
Then turn on AC in Sunroom
So basically, turn on the AC if there's someone in the room during those hours (when it's most heated in that room)
The logic works without the "and If" component

Conditions are and by default

I want the motion in the room to act as the trigger. Or do I need to have Motion + Sun conditions?

Just what you said
Trigger on motion, condition on time
And read up on sun elevation, which is a much better way to do what you're doing

My biggest question is
are the conditions lumped together or separate entities under 'And If'?

If you just want the syntax: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/scripts/conditions/
Unlike a trigger, which is always or, conditions are and by default - all conditions have to be true.

Figured it out. I wasn't saving before I was testing the logic
