Location automations in Apple Home do not work with iOS17

Hi! None of mine automations based on location work after updating all my devices (iPhones, iPad, watch and AppleTV) to newes iOS (tvOS, watchOS)... when I try to "verify automation" it works properly but it doesn't work in common life (leaving home, comming home, atc.). On the other hand, all my time-based automations work properly. It must be a problem with a trigger based on location. Any clew how to fix it? Thx

Apple Home Automation not working on user-specific instruction Since updated to iOS16 and tvOS16, user-specific automation is not working. In my case, it works without any problems "When the First Person Arrives Home" - "Only at night". However, all the user-specific automations (e.g. "When I Arrive Home"-"Only at night" or "When XX@xx.com Arrives Home"-"Only at night") are not working. I tried the following but can't be resolved. Updated all of my iOS devices and Apple TV to the latest version (iOS16.2 and tvOS16.2) Deleted the automations and re-create again Checked the "Location Services" and "Shared My Location" on my iOS devices are "On", checked "While Using the App" and "Precision Location" is "On" for location services setting in "Home" App

Home Hub & location-based automation not working I have a HomeKit-enabled peripheral that is supposed to turn on when I am not home, and turn off when I am home. It's supposed to use my iPhone to determine if I'm home or not. This has worked flawlessly for months, until now. Under iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Share My Location > My Location ... 1) If this is set to use my iPhone as the location, then the peripheral does not work as expected. It thinks I am not home when I am home. 2) If I set the location as my iPad, then the perisperhal instantly behaves as expected: it thinks I am home because I AM home. So why doesn't the Home Hub recognize my iPhone as it has flawlessly for months? Any guidance is appreciated.

Home app doesn't use Location after iOS 17.0.1 upgrade Home app doesn't use Location Hi - On my iPhone 11, running iOs 17.0.1, my Home app is not using location services. This causes our home automation to trigger incorrectly (for example, "When the first person arrives home" events do not trigger when anyone arrives at the house but I am actually here, turning on all of the lights). The matter afflicts all member of my family and their devices. I have checked all the usual subjects - Location Services is enabled, Home app is set to use Location Services "While Using", HomeKit is enabled under Location Services --> System Services. Anyone encounter the same issue? Thanks
