Wonky Presence Detection: Husband's Phone

My husband and I both use Pixel 8 Pros. We both have the HA app installed, and I have duplicated the settings on both of our devices.

My phone has absolutely no problem with presence detection. When I arrive home, HA immediately knows I am home and is able to do my normal automation.

My husband’s phone on the other hand is not working. We’ll be in the house, sit down, the porch light will turn off from MY phone, and then suddenly it turns on again. When reviewing the logbook, I can see this is because his arrival home is significantly delayed.

I’ve tried changing how his sensors update, set him up with the internal url for local connection when he’s on the wifi, made sure his location accuracy is approved and good, and yet for whatever reason this continues to plague me.

Any other troubleshooting ideas? It’s driving me nuts.

first check these steps then check the location tracking history in app https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/troubleshooting/faqs/#device-tracker-is-not-updating-in-android-app

its also possible the device is affected by this issue after confirming the steps and observing the location history reported

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll give this a try!
