Speaker companion ignoring Mode setting

[jimxms (James)]

For the past couple of days I’ve been having issues with one of my Speaker Companion automations. It is configured like so:

Play Notification: Dogs Barking
On Speaker: Kitchen Sonos
When Motion: (All of my outside Arlo cameras)
Change Volume: 100%
Set For specific Modes: Away

However, when I am home, and the mode is showing as ‘Home’ (in the ‘More’ tab of the iOS app) and someone walks up our driveway, the dog barking automation triggers!

I have tried deleting the automation and re-creating it, but the problem still exists.

So for example when Mode is Away I receive a SMS if motion is detected in my hall, but I am now getting notified of motion in my hall when Mode is set to Home. I’ve had to disable the rule that triggers my external siren because that is also now being triggered randomly when I am at home, despite the rule set to only t…
