Hi there! I am trying to make an automation to control the home status of three people, including a fictitious ‘guest’ user, via a toggle. This way I can easily change a wrong status of another person or register a guest (and disable all ‘burglar’-style automations). At this point the automation works for person C, but not for the other persons, even though I have defined device_tracker.guest_input_boolean for the guest and likewise for the other two users at People-> Track Device. May I ask you to take a quick look because it feels like I’m overlooking something simple.

Here’s an animation of how it currently behaves:
Does it matter that the two other person entities don’t have a user_id in their attributes? By the way, I added all the persons through the GUI, so my configuration YAML is just:
person:
If there’s anyone with a better solution than the above, I have no problem in trying that and starting fresh .
