Grouping zones (lemmy.ca)

Is there any way to group zones together? I would like to define zones that are not necessarily circular in shape. I can accomplish what I want by overlapping several of them, but I really want to group them together and treat them as one zone. Is this possible?

I suppose I could probably script up a template trigger...

A person's state becomes the name of the zone when they're in them.

In the current version of Home Assistant, if a person is in two overlapping zones, what happens? It's possible to be in that state today.

I suppose it doesn't really matter though. I've named all my home zones similarly: home1, home2, etc. It would be easy enough to check for a zone where the object_id starts with "home"

Good question, I'd guess it would be the closest to the center of whichever zone.
I haven't tested them, but if they work, it'd be easier to use non circular zones than deal with multiple overlapping ones.
