I've been using a HACs add-on that supports polygonal zones in HA https://github.com/MichelGerding.
It works well but the GUI zone editor is quirky. The developer has announced that he's abandoned it, It's just a matter of time until some HA change breaks it. It's throwing weird errors but still hanging in there. I'm looking a for a HA developer looking for an opportunity who could take in on., I dont have the skills

I am sure someone will pick this up at some point. Although you may have to be prepared for it to totally break first before someone does...
The backstory of why this is not an option in core is covered in THIS architecture repo discussion if you are interested.

I hadn't come across that discussion. It's very hard to find this kind of stuff if you don't know where to look. I'll go through it. I bugged the devs until they explained why ONLY circular zones are supported in HA. My understanding is that it's because they rely on a location API in IOS and Android that only supports circular zones and they will not implement their own algorithms to support polygons. That may not be the whole truth but that was my takeaway before I bugged out of dev channel. I didn't press why, They tend to get hostile and gang up on the unwashed who asks too many questions. My sense is that they feel their authority or expertise is being challenged. Not my agenda. I'm just an ignorant guy trying to be a little less ignorant and build an HA system that meets my needs. But that being said, the HACS addon works pretty well for me without any changes to the companion app. I think it can it can be be cleaned up, polished and improved and will be very useful addition to HA ecosystem for us who find circular zones primative and limiting for location tracking. I hope somebody takes it up.

I read discussion and disagree with the concern about the complexity of detecting a point in/out of polygon on mobile devices . There are multiple algorithms that are compact and fast. Here are two in Python one very simple, and a second much faster that I tested that uses complied C libraries to do the heavy lifting that could be ported to any language

Might want to post over there for better responses.
