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](/getting-started/automation-trigger/#zone-trigger) or [condition](/getting-started/automation-condition/#zone-condition) inside automation setups.
|
|
|
|
Zones support the usual method to specify multiple zones, use keys `zone:`, `zone 2:` etc.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
zone:
|
|
name: School
|
|
latitude: 32.8773367
|
|
longitude: -117.2494053
|
|
radius: 250
|
|
icon: mdi:school
|
|
|
|
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: mdi:account-multiple
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Friendly name of entry.
|
|
- **latitude** (*Required*): Latitude of the center point of the zone.
|
|
- **longitude** (*Required*): Longitude of the center point of the zone.
|
|
- **radius** (*Optional*): Optional radius in meters. Defaults to 100 meters.
|
|
- **icon** (*Optional*): Optional icon to show instead of name.
|
|
- **passive** (*Optional*): Optional boolean to only use the zone for automation and hide it from the UI and not use the zone for device tracker name. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
To find your latitude / longtitude of a certain place you can use for example [Google Maps](https://www.google.nl/maps/) or [Bing Maps](https://www.bing.com/maps). Just right click and copy the coordinates from there (Bing) or click on the "What is here?" (Google)
|
|
|
|
#### {% linkable_title 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'**.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
Devices that are in the zone **'Home'** will not appear on the map in the Home Assistant UI.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
#### {% linkable_title Icons %}
|
|
|
|
It is preferred to pick an icon to use for your zone. Pick any icon that you can find on [materialdesignicons.com](https://materialdesignicons.com/) and prefix the name with `mdi:`. For example `mdi:school`, `mdi:worker`, `mdi:home`, `mdi:cart`, or `mdi:castle`.
|
|
|
|
#### State
|
|
|
|
`zoning` is the state a `zone` has when it is configured. A `zone` doesn't have another state, all configured zones are `zoning` all the time.
