Hi, I just bought a Homey Pro 2019 to try it out. I also have a Sonos system at home. I installed the Sonos app. When I now turn on my home/away detection my Sonos starts playing automatically when I get close to my house. There are only three active flows now. These do not starts this. Any suggestions?

Maybe you should show your flows anyway. Or didn’t you include anything from sonos in a single flow?

This is the only flow that includes SONOS. The flow is an alarm that turns on at 7:30 when I am present. The speakers are, however, different from the one that turn on when I am close to my house. Also the trigger for being home in this flow is based on WiFi and not location.
