Home radius setting in the UI interactive map?!

Configuration
1

Hello!
Anyone know if setting the home zone radius is going to be possible through the front end configuration map rather than zones inside configuration.yaml (this is clunky and requires a reboot each time)?

Changing locations via the interactive map are very useful for a HASSIO installation in a mobile installation.

Answers on a post card!

  1. No need to reboot for anything in Home Assistant - just restart. The two things are very different.
  2. You can set up Zones from the UI -> Configuration -> Integrations -> the plus symbol

Never knew that !
But once you have a zones file its so much easier to just cut and paste, change a couple of things like Icon :wink:
And wait for next restart (it’ll be along in 20 mins or so)

@Rural_assist if you use presence detection (who doesn’t ?) it’s wise to set the radiuses of your devices to the same to ensure they all agree you are home.
Life360 defaults to 250’ (yes feet) so my home radius is set to 76 metres
