Hello, how can i disable philips sensor at mornings and enable it at evenings?
Please provide more information regarding what you're trying to accomplish. Sensors/Devices are not typically enabled or disabled. Much more often the Applications, that are performing your automations based on that sensor data, will need some constraints placed upon them to control when they are active or not.
Many people use the hub's MODE to help constrain automations (Motion Lighting, Simple Lighting, Rule Machine, etc...) Hubitat's built in Mode Manager App can be used to change the MODE of the house based on time of day, user presence, etc...

I have sonoff switchers, with ifttt, when sensors are active the lights are on, when there is no motion detected the lights are turn off, but at the mornings i dont need those sensors to take actions, i want them to take action after 18:00pm antil 7:00am.
Take a look at the options in the Hubitat Motion Lighting App. You can specify that the light will only turn on during a specified window of time.

Try motion lighting first. But if that doesn't do what you want, you can also do this in RM by using a virtual switch. I have a virtual switch called "Auto Kitchen Lights." When it's on, the kitchen lights are turned on by motion and turned off if there's no motion. When the switch is off, the kitchen lights stay on. I use a rule to turn the switch on at sunset and off again when I go to bed.
what is the RM?
Rule Machine
Rule Machine.
Stick to the built-in Apps that Hubitat provides that will help you accomplish most of your automation needs. Rule Machine is powerful, but takes quite a while to wrap your head around.
