    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”

    I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.

    I’m not talking about areas at all.

    Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.

    Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.
