When I came home last night my shut down automation triggered just before I arrived home, exactly the opposite of what it is supposed to do. Here is what my logbook said:
Not sure why it says 4 times that I’m home - 2 in lower case and 2 capitalized.
Here is the trigger:
- alias: Lights & TV Off, Lock Doors When Not Home
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: group.family_presence_sensor
from: 'home'
to: 'not_home'
From my groups.yaml:
family_presence_sensor:
name: Family Presence
entities:
- person.jeff
- person.lygea
In Configuration/Persons/Jeff I only have 1 device tracker. Only using the iPhone app for tracking. My wife was not home when this happened.
is this a new automation or has it been working well for some time?
Have you made any changes recently?
Do you by chance have more than 1 home zone (1 x home, 1 x Home)?
your automation triggered because you went from the home zone to the Home zone…
Also I’d probably change the trigger to be something like:
- alias: Lights & TV Off, Lock Doors When Not Home
initial_state: true
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: group.family_presence_sensor
from: 'home'
to: 'not_home'
for:
minutes: 2
If for some reason your location accuracy isn’t too great and you keep jumping in and out of your home zone, this will ensure your automation doesn’t trigger as a result
It appears I do have 2 home zones one of which is larger than the other so I bet that is my issue. I’m going to remove one and still implement your idea for a 2 minute “delay”. Thank you.
