Help please with creating Motion + Time rule

I just got a 2nd Hue motion sensor that is going to light up my Outer hall. The one twist there is that I want it to be a a very dim level late at night/early morning. I've never worked with Modes, but should I do that and create a "Late Night" mode and say if it is "Late Night" to have the lower level? (BTW, do modes automatically activate based on the time, or would I first have to activate the "Late Night"?)

Can I do that with either the Basic rule app or the Motions and Mode Lightings App or do I need to go into Rule Machine and do a If...Then...Else type rule that I'm guessing would would like this in pseudo-code:
When Motion Detected:
If Time > 8:00 a.m. and < 11:00 p.m. Then
Turn on Outer Hall light to 100%
Else
Turn on Outer Hall light to 30%
End If

Then If motion inactive for 1 minutes turn off Outer light.

I happened to create 2 rules for my other Hue motion sensor (and just posted a different thread on which one should I delete). Could I clone either or those 2 and add the time or mode condition per above?

Here are those 2 existing app rules:

Basic Rule:

Motion and Mode Lighting rule:

You'll probably get more people suggesting to use Rule Machine, but I find it as easy to run the case in Basic Rules with two rules restricted by mode or time. Here is how I handle your use case:

Thanks! I think I'm 99% of the way there. I got rid of the legacy Motion Manager and installed the new one. (Though that was after I set the Day/Evening/Night days in the legacy one first, which I thought was actually easier, clearer. But I get they want the consistent new table look).

I then found it was able to add those 3 modes in the Motion and Modes app so it looks like this:

The last piece of the puzzle is that I have an Alexa Good Night routine that turns on the Outer Hall light 35% for 2 minutes. The Motion and Mode rule I am creating turns the light off after 1 minute if motion is inactive. Since it is an Alexa routine I get that there is no way for Hubitat to know that.

I'm wondering how to work with that. One I idea it to create a virtual device in Hubitat that Alex would turn on, and then I hope I could have it that is on to ignore the rule. But, maybe there are better ways. Any ideas?

I found this options page, but I really don't understand if I could use it somehow to do what I want it to do.
