Turn on scene when front door is opened

Hi,
Slowly trying to move my automations over from SmartThings, but i’m struggling to see where i’ve gone wrong with this one.

I’ve got a scene set up that turns on two lights in the front room. When I tes that, it works fine. I want to create an automation that activates this scene when the front door is open between sunset and sunrise.

This is what i’ve done, but can’t get it to work!

Trigger type: Device
Device: Front Door
Trigger: Front Door contact opened
Duration: 00:00:00

Condition type: Sun
Before: Sunset
Before offset: -00:45:00
After: Sunset
After offset: (Optional)

Action Type: Activate Scene
Entity: scene.front_door

Can anyone see any glaring errors there at all?
