A person’s state becomes the name of the zone when they’re in them.

In the current version of Home Assistant, if a person is in two overlapping zones, what happens? It’s possible to be in that state today.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter though. I’ve named all my home zones similarly: home1, home2, etc. It would be easy enough to check for a zone where the object_id starts with “home”

I…honestly thought I just did that. I want to have an irregularly-shaped zone. I don’t see why they couldn’t logically be grouped, you just aren’t able to do it right now.

Anyway, thanks for reading what I typed.

I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.

I’m not talking about areas at all.

Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.

You don’t get the choice to use more than one zone as your official “home” zone though, do you?

Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.

This is the way. Web client to MPV Shim for local playback.

I wish the web interface let you sort the sub categories both ways. I have a series of subcategories of Year/month that I’m using as a journal and the longer I keep writing, the further have to scroll down :/

This happened to me, but the single result from 10 years earlier was unfortunately also me.
