#Automation by Zone but with exception

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an automation for my wife. However, sometimes she drives by the zone without stopping by the gym. In this case, the automation triggers when it shouldn't.
I couldn't find a solution to my problem so that's why I'm posting here -

My automation idea is when Wife enters the GYM zone and stays there for 4 minutes then it will trigger the automation - which makes an actionable notification to her smartphone/smartwatch

My current trigger is when she logs in to the gym Wi-Fi, but sometimes, it's not accurate and detects that she's in the gym Wi-Fi after 40 minutes of being there.

Thanks for help and ideas!

I was also trying to use the 'iPhone Geocoded Location changed to' entity, but it's also not accurate. It does detect the right street name but not always the exact address.

can you not just make the zone small enough?

#

and dont trigger on the wifi

#

or is that also not fast enough?\

It’s a state trigger

Sorry for late response, baby was awake.
as I mentioned before I don't want this trigger because her phone does not automatically connects to the WiFi of the gym... and it's not accurate.
I wanted to create a 'enter' the zone for more than 4 minutes thing to be the trigger, but I suppose it is not possible.

Like that?
