Location tracking not triggering

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

I am trying to use location in the app to triger an automation. I have the app properly registered and tracking the location of my phone:

I have this as the animation:

alias: Turn Office heater Off if Peter leaves home
description: Turn Office heater Off if Peter leaves home
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: device_tracker.sm_n986b
    to: away
condition: []
action:
  - service: climate.turn_off
    target:
      entity_id:
        - climate.office_thermostat
        - climate.office_aircon
mode: single

But it never triggers.
Any thoughts?

The state you see in the history is the “nice” state in the frontend based on your language, you need to use the real state, which can be found under Developer Tools → States. It is not_home instead of away.
