Proximity sensor missing some updates

Configuration
1

I’m tracking two phones with no issues. I’ve setup a proximity sensor that includes both phones. The proximity sensor sort of works: tells me the distance of the phone that’s closest to the house. 0 if someone is in the house. “towards”, “away_from”, “stationary” all work like they should.

The problem I’m having is that the proximity sensor state is missing some updates. Like, I can see several updates of phone location going away, but the proximity sensor state only changes after a very long time. Distance threshold is set to 50m which is much smaller than the distance changes I’m seeing.

For example: today I went for a walk. I can see in HASS map that my phone is updating its location. No proximity changes. Then after I’m coming back, I get a random proximity change (getting closer to my house), but only one or two (where my phone has updated location maybe 10 times).

Any tips on what could be the issue?

I am running into the same issue, device_tracker sensor is updating GPS frequently but the proximity sensor is not updating as frequently. Proximity sensor is taking upwards of 30+ minutes to update its status and I can’t seem to find a way to force it to refresh faster.

Homeassistant.update_entity does not work.

I have the same issue :frowning:
