Hi
I noticed recently that some of my automations aren’t working as there are conditions to when there’s someone home or not.
I have a template sensor that detects the state of my mobile and I can see the sensor switches off/on again in the history. Sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes minutes.
I set up a notification to let me know when it thinks I’m back home so I could track when it’s happening, but it seems random.
I’m not sure how this would happen as I’m pretty sure that if a phone is unavailable it just shows the last known state until HA gets an update. So in theory it’s thinking my phone is moving outside of my Home zone?
I have a couple devices, phone, watch, tablet, but only the phone is connected to my person and the only thing being tracked in the template sensor.
I was up and about early today, but haven’t been out.
“away” for 3mins then 1.5mins. Later in the day, just 10s
