Multiple Geofences per Zone?

[qJake]

So, I have a bit of a “fun project” I’m working on. I’m using this project:

Lovelace: Wizarding Clock Card

A fairly basic but functional “clock” along the lines of the one the Weasley family own in HP. [example] https://github.com/malcolmrigg/WizardClock I was looking for something like this that somebody had already made (I’m lazy), but failed to find one so eventually had to try making my own. It’s not the prettiest but it works! See the readme in github for instructions if you want to use it.

And I’d like to define zones/geofences for things like “Shopping” or “Traveling” or what have you, but these zones would require multiple GPS coordinates/radii for a single zone name. For instance, “Shopping” is actually any one of three distinct points/circles on a map.

How can I define a zone with multiple coordinates, or how can I trick Home Assistant into combining, e.g. “Shopping 1”, “Shopping 2”, and “Shopping 3” into a sort of “zone group” called Shopping that still behaves as a normal zone?

I do exactly this with several “work” zones - you can define them in your config with the same name; HA will then use that as the friendly_name (which is used by the clock) and generate unique ids for you behind the scenes (e.g “work_1”, “work_2”, etc).

So, not exactly what you’re asking for (multiple zones with the same name instead of a single zone with multiple coordinates), but it works.

Oh, that’s awesome! I didn’t realie that’s how it worked. I’ll definitely give this a try. Thanks!
