Hello,

I migrated from HP2023 to HP2026,

But the homey/away detection isnt working anymore even for my girlfriend, i tried these things

Reboot Homey

Reinstalling Homey App

Permissions like location Off and On after Reinstalling

The homey/away option in Homey is turned on

Batterysaving options is turned off for the homey app in Android, its on the never sleep list

Im sure this is in Homey itself because with the old model (2023) always worked like a charm. but with the new model, it doesnt work anymore. It even never worked since the upgrade

She got a IPhone 15

And i got a Samsung Galaxy S25+

I see several users posting different suggestions on the forum. Did you check the posts in the Related section below your post?

In addition [this action](https://community.homey.app/t/no-available-flows-in-ios-widget/98480/13) may help as is triggers Homey to set some of the permissions related items.
