I am having a wierd issue where my presence (phone) is not being registered when my screen is off
As soon as i unlock my phone and open smarthings (manually) everything seems to work
Using android 7.0, removed doze and battery optimization
Both mine and my wife’s Pixel phones have had issues with presence recently too. As you point out when I manually open the ST app the presence will update accordingly. This wasn’t a problem until recently.
I get the same issue. My lights don’t turn on automatically when I arrive (like they should). As soon as I tap the unlock button on the side of my phone, the lights turn on within a couple of seconds.
It would also help to know what phone you use. Not all are the same.
On my S8 I also had to add Smartthings to the Unmonitored apps. It’s been like 3 months of perfectly working on 2 phones. Also be aware that location in/out has approx 80 meters radius.
I’m sure there is some extra drain, but I didn’t see anything significant. After a full day, both my wife and I have 30-60 % battery left, depending on usage.
Don’t know about Pixel, but trying is free.
