Any solution for when in another zone (work etc.) but you need to use away condition for your automation?

Configuration
1

My automation is set to
Trigger “ when my front door is closed for 1 hour”
Condition “ If I am away”
Action “ lock my front door”

The problem is when I go to work my door never lock because my condition did not pass. ( I also set zone for work and it less than 1 hour to go there).

Any solution for this?

change to not at home

something like this

description: ""
mode: single
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - person.warlion
conditions:
  - condition: not
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: person.warlion
        state: home
actions: []

If you want to know if everyone is away, then a state condition for zone.home is 0 will do that. That will work for any number of people living there.
