#Device tracker priority on person integration?

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.

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. 😁
