I have a set up a person with mobile companion device tracker (GPS) and custom AsusRouter integration (Vaskivskyi/ha-asusrouter) device tracker (WiFi). When AsusRouter integration sets device tracker to away the person entity does not become away until the mobile companion device tracker becomes away. Is that intended behaviour? I might be misunderstanding the wording on https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/person/ though.
#Device tracker priority on person integration?

I think that matches the wording.
Your stationary is not home, so (1) does not apply, therefore (2) applies.
I assume this is probably because stationary trackers are not reliable for detecting home.
(phones can go to sleep and appear as disconnected to a wifi router even when they are present)
Hmm. They seem to be reliable for me. Ideas for how I can make it work like I thought it did? 🙂
Not easily.
We walk from our home so it takes almost 10 minutes before the GPS marks us as away. And I don't think I can have the zone any smaller.
Idea crossed my mind to add a second synthetic device tracker to your person, and use device_tracker.see to manually "see" it away from home when your stationary tracker reports you as away.
You'll have to give it fake gps coordinates
Yeah, thought about the same. Was hoping for something else. 😁
