For some reason Homey no longer sets my home and away status when I leave and return home. Any ideas?

Thanks Roy,

Fair criticism. The fact is that I didn’t remember doing anything to enable this feature, I thought it just did it. However, your response at least made me go looking and I found a switch under “settings/locations” which enabled home/away detection. Hopefully this will solve the issue. Will test it out today.
