I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out - can I trigger an app from HA?

How frequent are updates supposed to occur? The HA update is much smaller because of the frequent overwrites. I pulled it and then another a couple minutes later, but it seems that I was a little premature on the 2nd HA log.

Also, as I write this, my wife went to the store. The geocoded location is perfectly accurate, but the device_tracker, as usual, has only moved ~100’ from our house. I won’t be able to pull anything until she gets home.

these are only geofence logs and not background updates, so there are no background updates. This is what the other users are experiencing. The fix is in the beta found on Github.

Oh nice. I know you indicated in a previous comment, but I’m glad this is a widespread issue with a fix. I was trying to figure out how to reengineer my presence methods.

I’ll check out the version on github.

Thanks for helping identify the issue. Hoping the official fixed version is released soon.
