I'm not sure what you mean by "not turn on" this automation shouldn't turn on lights - only change the colour temperature of lights already on or that have just turned on.
If you mean you only want the automation to operate between the hours of 8am and 5pm then simply create another automation that disables and enables this automation at those times
Or you can "Take control" of this blueprint and change the logic to your delight https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/using_blueprints/#editing-an-imported-blueprint

This is a great and simple. Some of the circadian lighting integrations seem overly complicated to me.
Is there a way to limit the timing of this? For example, don't turn on until 8am and turn off at 5pm. It wouldn't have to adjust the light color to those times at all, just not turn on unless its between those times.
Seems like a simple condition could be added. I'll work on it a little, but I'm pretty new to HA.
