last swallow
I haven't been able to find it in the Companion app, other than reporting that it's monitoring for beacons. I have it filtered in the app to only "see" the one I want by it's UUID.
Am I missing an option in the companion app or is this not possible? I'm trying to build an automation based on the phone's position to the ibeacon.

EDIT: my bad, just noticed Andorid tag
@last swallow as far as I understand there is no dedicated button for monitoring for beacons, its covered within "Allow location access" -> "Always", there is even description in system setting below that "App explanation: We suggest selecting Always Allow for best location experience. Selecting Only While Using the App will disable iBeacons updates..."
but, no success, here is mine config (redacted lat, long, uuid)
zone:
- name: Mailbox
latitude: xx.yyy
longitude: xx.yyy
radius: 5
passive: true
homeassistant:
customize:
zone.mailbox:
beacon:
uuid: FDA5053....
major: 10000
minor: 10001
I certainly have had the always location access for my devices (family phones and mine) we use Home Assistant as our tracking for our family. The issue is, I live in an apartment and my mailbox is less than 200 meters away so my Smart Lock (Nuki) won't auto unlock. I was hoping to trigger the unlock automation I have for it based on the rssi strength the phone sees when I'm outside my door basically. If I am in that rssi strength threshold, then unlock else not.
This is my home zone which is 7 meters:
The center point is what I believe to be our living room, I can say that this circle bleeds into our neighbors above us in the pic some and to the right of us some. for a zone.
