I’m trying to use a “nearhome” zone (same coords as home, but a with a larger radius) to trigger/check in some automations. I want to use this zone to trigger an automation as a person arrives home (eg enters nearhome from the “outside”), as well as suppress another automation if someone happens to be in that zone at the time of triggering.
I have questions which I can’t seem to answer with experimentation (testing a moving location is hard):
- Are nearhome and home mutually exclusive? That is, if I am in home, will I also be in nearhome?
- If not, how can I check/trigger in which direction nearhome was entered (eg leaving home vs arriving)?
- As nearhome is just for automations, I’ve marked it as passive. As such, its state is always 0. Can I still check if a specific person is in nearhome during an automation?
