So I have a couple of automations set up for when various people arrive and leave.
However, I’ve noticed that both arrival and departure triggers are firing when I leave a zone.
I have my garage lights to come on when any of us get home, and turn off 30s after anyone leaves if no one else is in zone Home.
Problem is, I noticed this morning an oddity in the logs.
I left for work around 615. Seconds before the log shows me leaving the Home zone, it shows me arriving at it.
What? I’d been home since 1700 the previous day.
Timeline of what actually occurs: I entered the garage, I have no presence sensors (yet) so I hit the switch attached to a zigbee relay. Light turns on, as it should. Stays on til I leave. On the surface everything is fine.
But here’s the logs for that timeframe. What in the world??
