Hi all

New to HA and diving into the amazing rabbit hole!

I'm having trouble to show who is home, since this is important to start automations.

My wife and I have both iPhones with the HA-app running, location always on, Nabu Casa for remote access, geocoded location shared. Home location is set up in HA as in the app itself.

My wife is added as person and the device_trackers are selected.

But how does it goes from here? When I open the maps both phones show in the "home" area, but this is not the current position, it's not live. It show "1 day ago" or 2 days" ago. I don't have any clue how to scan for the live location.

How does it go from here?

Do i setup a card? Do I forst have add "helpers"?

It feels like I missed a thing. Anyone who can show me the steps?

Thanks!
