Hi.
Im quite new at HA, so im hoping for some help here 🙂

I want to make an automation that turns off all the lights in the house and locks the door when all 4 users (phones) are out of home zone.

Hmm i cant seem to find that. the link just shows all integrations

#

Well, it shows all presence detection integrations

#

All 71 of them

#

(there's also a lot more custom options)

#

If you want to use location then the official #android-archived or #ios_and_mac-archived apps are probably the simplest solutions

No worries, geolocation is a very different thing from what you want, and I've seen too many people get confused there

yeah, it sounded to be the right way to do it.
Looks like Proximity could be an option

Proximity is great, but it needs to know where the device is first

#

So you use it in addition to some form of GPS based presence detection
