Hey,
I recently set up device tracking using the mobile apps.
For that I added a zone to my configuration:
zone:
- name: Home
latitude: 12.34
longitude: 56.78
radius: 50
icon: mdi:home
In the Android app, I enabled “Zone Based Tracking” and “Background Location Tracking”.
I see the phone/app and device tracker in Configuration -> Devices. It’s a Google Pixel 3.
(I actually see two devices, don’t know why, one of which has no entities).
Now the problem is that the phone pretty much always appears to be at home in HA.
That’s not very useful. Now that I went to the settings in the Android app it actually updated that it’s away. So I guess there’s some problem in the app checking the location in the background?
I have granted permissions to use background location in Android.
Similar problem in iOS. I see the device tracker, I have granted all permissions, but it always appears at home.
Is this a know bug or is there something wrong with my setup.
Anybody has this working reliably?
