Can you share your flow please? I think it’s the Then card ---

Indeed it is, it seems like you put the smart presence in the then card. But it should be the other way around: if smart presence detects away then set Homey state away. If smart presence detects home then set Homey state Home. ---

I shared a few example flows here. Maybe it is of any help. The WHEN card says: user Peter enters Geofence named “Thuus” The Then card says: Mark user Peter as AtHome (Homey native presence card) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/2/723c8e9dccad4c540dfe83c293e2ef7e4494d4a7.jpeg) ](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/2/723c8e9dccad4c540dfe83c293e2ef7e4494d4a7.jpeg) > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Location and Presence (Owntracks)](https://community.homey.app/t/location-and-presence-owntracks-howto/5126/188): > > Examples for arriving @home: ---

In theory, Theo, stand-by shouldn’t alter a phone’s location. But I also think _something_ gets disabled by stand-by mode what shouldn’t, and I think of the Wifi radio. So make sure WiFi stays up, and try again. Cheers ---

I do not know what you mean by standby, but some older Android version phones I had indeed shut off wifi to save battery when idle for a longer time. It depends on the brand, model and Android version if this is so, if you can change it and how. Luckily none of my phones do that now.
