Location not_home vs away

[petro]

no, under the hood, its

home or not home.

displayed to the user its

Home, Away, or Zone Name.

Home == home
Away == not_home
Zone Name == not_home

The code is basically:

if home:
  display Home
else:
  if in zone:
    display Zone Name
  else:
    display Away

Also, do I have to capitalize “away” in automations? In the UI it shows as capitalized most of the time… Are zones case sensitive?

This purely depends on what type of trigger you are using.

The best rule of thumb is to use ‘home’, ‘not_home’, and case senstative zone name. Do not use ‘Home’, or ‘Away’, because those are mostly for language translation to the user for a pretty user interface.
