Device tracker - Companion App with the enabled location sensors.
The problem that I am experiencing in my automation is the following:
The condition which checks the state (home, away) of the entity device_tracker.sm_s916u works only when “For” is set to 0. As soon as I set it to, e.g. 2 min, the condition test fails.
I have checked the entity history and it contains the correct information.
Tested the same logic with some of my switches and it worked fine.
Post the automation and/or the trace from an instance when it failed.
This is just a simple test automation:
