I’m using the new smartthings app and have set up an automation to adjust the thermostat when I leave and come home.

The problem is when I leave and my wife is still home.

I installed the smartthings app on her phone and added her as a member using the QR code but it won’t let me select her in the automation.

How do I get her phone added as a member so that we both must be gone or either of us arrives?

Did you turn on location tracking in her app settings?

I’m having the same issue. I have enable location tracking in my wife’s phone, but her phone is not an option in the Custom Automations tab. Were you able to find a solution?
