Device Tracking Issues

I have an iPhone linked to my HA and any time it goes to state unavailable periodically through the day, the person.account that is logged in via the HA app on my phone will switch my location status to Home. Which is triggering automations to run at home while I am still at the office.

It will do this non-stop through the day. The only time it appears to stay accurate it when I am actually at home.

Anyone have any suggestions how to resolve this?

The rules/sequence of precedence is described in the Person integration docs.

Are there any devices that are usually left at home that are logged on with that user?

Any devices like that should be logged off or set up to login with a user not attached to a person.

Otherwise you would need to add a “stationary” tracker to the affected person so that it’s not_home status overrides the other tracker’s home status.

Are you evaluating the person/user being home, or the status of the entire system having at least one person being home?
I recall reading discussion on this subject only a ahort while ago on these forums with a satisfactory solution.
