Does anyone know how to force a device tracker update on a Cell Phone if the garage door is opened ?
For example, below in my automation when the mobile device state is “not_home” the garage door closes.
The issue is that sometimes it can take quite a long time for the device tracker state to update from “home” to “not_home”.
I would like to force a device tracker update in my automation to check to see if the garage door is open and then send a forced update to the device tracker in 1 minute to update the location.
alias: Close Garage Door
description: If away from the Home Zone - close the Garage Door
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: person.joe
from: home
to: not_home
condition: []
