Dimming lights due to weather conditions

Hello everyone,
Im trying to figure out how to solve a automation with attention to control lights at daytime due to weather conditions.
my criteria is:

• tracking device must be “home”
• use sunrise as i only need this automation on daytime. (another automation trigger when sunset).
• and, of course, use weather condition as a trigger/condition.

i have tried a mixes with a test automation-setup with out any luck so far. it seems that it goes on even when im “not_home” and after daytime…

• Do I need to implement “tracking device” since I have a another automation for turn off all lights when leaving home and on when i get home?

• Also, i want to have more than “cloudy” in weather trigger. how do solve that ?

take a look at config for this automation:

  alias: test
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: weather.hjemme
    platform: state
    to: cloudy
  condition:
  - condition: and
    conditions:
    - after: sunrise
      before: sunset
      condition: sun
    - condition: state
      entity_id: device_tracker.mm
      state: home
  action:
  - entity_id: light.dimmable_light_1
    service: light.turn_on
