Anyone have a hint on how to cange a zone location depending on a GPS location ?
I want my RV to be a moving zone, so if I leave my RV I get a note if alarm isnt on or power is in use etc.
I cant figure out how to set/change a zone position.

I have tryed update the entuty zone.autocamper using a python_script, and it does update the attributes on the entity, but it dosnt affect the zone location 
and after a short while the attrubutes are back to what it was
You could have a device tracker and use distance between you and the device tracker.
Just have something that “parks” the RV/sets the device trackers location.
It could be a hardware button/software button, or some other trigger that happens as you park the RV?
Yah that is an alternative way, but dosnt make the Autocamper a zone which I would prefear.
Then automations for entering and leaving the zone would be konsistant with other (static) zones.

I believe zones are supposed to be static. That is the limiting factor here.
Yah I think so to, but they are not more static then they can be set throu UI, but for some reason not by changing state attributes.
It looks like it works if zone are set in configuration.yaml and then changed by python script…
I made a zone in configuration.yaml like this:
zone:
- name: home
latitude: 55.986105
longitude: 12.496975
radius: 7
icon: mdi:home
- name: autocamper
latitude: 55.986105
longitude: 12.496975
radius: 15
icon: mdi:rv-truck
And used Python Entities Script from HACS and made an automation like tis
service: python_script.hass_entities
data:
action: set_attributes
entity_id: zone.autocamper
attributes:
- latitude: '{{states.person.autocamper.attributes.latitude}}'
- longitude: '{{states.person.autocamper.attributes.longitude}}'
Note that the devicetrackerin the aRD (autocamper) is also setup as a person.

Thanks for your help! Giving this a try on my Motor Home.
Hi @andlo awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for. How do you track your Car? Do you have a GPS tracker on the Raspberry Pi or something?
