Stop location update at home (wifi)

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Hey,
Is there a way to config a home wifi and make the location update interval pause if you are at home?
I did a small test and i saw that with location enabled the app takes almost ~double battery (24h at home, same conditions).

Thanks!

I assume you mean for the companion app and this is indeed a good idea, battery consumption for location related stuff skyrockets and it would be good to allow some control over it.
As people are often also 8hrs+at work, I would propose to base this on zone, i.e. if in zone abc then reduce update…maybe you can raise a feature request
