How to establish a geofence around my home for homekit automation

When leaving and arriving home, I have automations set up in homekit. But, I can't adjust how far away from home those automations will be initiated because there is no geofence around "home"--just a pin. And if I enter the address instead of "home" for the location, it allows a geofence which can be adjusted and stays until I click on "done"--then when I come back to the location for the automation, "home" is back as the default along with the pin. Is there anything I can do to alter this?

Thanks.

Hello Attempting_smart_home,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. From your post, you want to set up an automation that would change the area defined as 'Home.' We'll explain.


Only the pin itself is available to set up a Home or address. There wouldn't be another method to change the area. You can leave any feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple



Take care!
