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](/components/automation.html#zone-trigger) or [condition](/components/automation.html#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
|
|
# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### {% 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'.
|
|
|
|
#### {% linkable_title Icons %}
|
|
|
|
It is preferred to pick an icon to use for your zone. By default, Home Assistant includes most of the
|
|
[material icons](https://www.google.com/design/icons/). See [the source][icon-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`.
