Companion app and automation

I am trying to find a good way to create an automation when I enter or leave “Home”.

The companion app always shows as away; when I looked at the map, it showed me far.

I’ve added all location sensor access as per docs and even reduced the minimal accuracy to 100

What can I do to make the companion app send the location? On Android, I’ve given location permission for all time.

I appreciate your help.

It is not uncommon for a single device tracker to be insufficient for completely reliable and accurate presence detection. Have you tried incorporating a stationary tracker (non-GPS trackers, like a router or Bluetooth-based integrations) to your person? These take precedence over GPS trackers for home, so they can be especially helpful when GPS isn’t reliably setting your person to home.

I looked at the zone again and found that the coordinates were off. It is working now. Thank you.
