WTH - Why doesn't the zone trigger have a for (time) constraint?

Most triggers have a “for” setting. What if I only want to trigger if I am home for at least a minute and not just walking past, for example?

Because the zone trigger is event based. It triggers on entering or leaving. You can’t be “entering” for longer than an instant.

If you want to trigger on someone being in a zone for a length of time use a state trigger.
