Hi,

Am I missing a trick with Rooms? My automations say things like When Motion detected in {Room}, Turn on {lamp}. However, If I move one sensor into a ‘sensible' {room}, other sensors move too. This means the text of automations make little sense and it’s extra confusing.

How do I put sensors in different rooms?
Maybe I can’t and this should be a feature request.

Cheers!

Each instance of the away mode accessory is a "unit". As such, they all live together in the same room. If you want to separate the sensors into different rooms you'll need to run multiple instances of the away mode accessory. The sensors associated with each instance can then be assigned to different rooms.

Since yesterday morning my iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 14.8) has started triggering my Away Mode Home automations saying I have left home and then returned ≈ 0–100 seconds later. It does this repeatedly and irregularly about every 5 minutes! This triggers my Away mode automations, which can get slightly entertaining.

So this isn’t a bug report or comment on Away mode — I have checked and the module continues to work correctly as it has for months. I post here as it might be seen by others in a similar situation. Sorry if that is bad form

Last evening, I updated to iOS 15 and it suspended the false reports for a while. However, my bedroom lights woke me up at 6:17 and 6:29 this morning. Putting my phone in Airplane mode solved it (as I did this morning until 9:30), but is a bit of a price to pay!

Any thoughts anyone please? 🤔

For future travellers — I cured this by performing an iTunes/Finder Restore of the iPhone. Not an erase and reinstall, just a Restore of a recent backup. 🤷 go figure!
