I have my hue lights setup so with motion in a certain room they activate at a different brightness depending on what time of day it is.
At midnight until 4am I only have them come on a a 10% brightness as a night light. All lights are motion activated, I’ve added a physical switch to my kitchen lights which I have a flow to turn the lights on at a 100% brightness but once I activate the motion sensor they dim back down to the 10%. What’s the best way of setting a flow to stop the lights activating with motion once the buttons pressed?
The motion sensor still triggers because it doesn’t know the button was pressed. Try setting a condition in your flow that checks if the button was used; this way, motion won’t change the light if the button has already turned it on.

I had the exact same issues as you and I just created an advanced tutorial that might solve your problems as well. By using a Virtual Motion Trigger, you can simply disable the autonomous flow by disabling the Virtual Motion Trigger before you dim the lights to its desired Brightness. I Also use a circadian zone for all my lights. I use its night mode and the manual mode to keep dimming autonomously but with different values for different times of the day as well.
This is how I completely tied it into my home together with presence:
