Set “Away” Automation based on more than 1 person’s location

I live in a two-person household, and I have an automation setup for going away that is supposed to turn on certain cameras and notifications when it detects I’m gone. However, this only works for myself, and not the other people in the household. So if I’m gone, the camera turns on even when they’re still home. Is there a way to set up this automation so that the camera only turns on if all locations are detected as out of the house?

Welcome to the forum Katrina. Location based triggers are based on your phone’s GPS. The only way to accomplish this is to use the phone of the last person that leaves the house to set the automation.

You might be able to accomplish this with third party apps. I know, for example, that IFTTT has a multi-person location function AND it can do some control of Wyze. Not sure if Home Assistant or similar have a multi-person location tool.
