Zone

Zones allow you to specify certain regions on earth (for now). When a device tracker sees a device to be within a zone, the state will take the name from the zone. Zones can also be used as a trigger or condition inside automation setups.

Zones support the usual method to specify multiple zones, use keys zone:, zone 2: etc.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
zone:
  name: School
  latitude: 32.8773367
  longitude: -117.2494053
  # Optional radius in meters (default: 100)
  radius: 250
  # Optional icon to show instead of name
  icon: group-work

zone 2:
  name: Work
  latitude: 32.8753367
  longitude: -117.2474053

# This will override the default home zone
zone 3:
  name: Home
  latitude: 32.8793367
  longitude: -117.2474053
  radius: 100
  icon: social:people

Home zone

If no configuration is given, the zone component will create a zone for home. This zone will use location given in the configuration.yaml file and have a radius of 100 meters. To override this, create a zone configuration and name it ‘Home’.

Icons

It is preferred to pick an icon to use for your zone. By default, Home Assistant includes most of the material icons. See the source for a specific list which categories are included.

For all but the action category you will need to prefix the icon name with its category. For example social:people or av:radio. For the action category, you will not need to do this, examples are home, work,, group-work and shopping-cart.
