Home / Away Automation keeps firing despite me not being being at home

Configuration
1

Hi all

I have 2 automations to turn on/off lights based on my location and presence sensor statuses.

When I am away from home, the Home and Away automatione keeps randomly kicking in and I don’t know why.

I know sometimes my presence sensors might give a false positive but the automation shouldn’t fire as my location doesn’t match.

Attached screenshots to show config and logs

Companion App location is enabled and working.

Please post the automation in YAML format.

Do you have the companion app on more than one device, one of which stays at home when that happens?

I did recently install the companion app on a tablet that stays at home, but this was happening before I did that and none of the sensors are enabled on it.
