Hello, I have given the homey app all permissions for location queries (always) and also deactivated battery optimization for the homey app. However, my homey does not correctly recognize when I am at home or when I am away. Do you have an idea what could be the reason? How far away do I have to be from homey for it to recognize me as absent. 50 meters? Thank you! ---

Stack traces are only relevant for app developers, it doesn’t have anything to do with location services. ---

The bug is in de smartphone app, so better keep an eye on google/apple appstore for any update: ![Screenshot_20221221-203319_Google Play Store](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/8/98ac8e51ba64e4ed73723f55b7de8593ec3f5193.jpeg) ---
