the automations I created do not work
the automations I created do not work
1) I have set up the following automation (Tapo T110): Every day, between 8 and 23, when I am away from home, if the staircase door is open then send me a notification.
2) I also set up another automation (Tapo T100): every day, 1 hour after sunset, when I am away from home, if
smart motion sensor detects motion then send me a notification.
However, both automations do not work, they always send notifications.
Where am I wrong?

@Wayne-TP @Wayne-TP I put order and recreated 3 rules but notifications always arrive whether I'm at home or away, it's as if I hadn't created automations

The geofencing feature isn't enabled for your phone in this automation. You need to enable 'This Phone/Tablet' in this trigger setting.

@gulluwing_1- it does not matter in fact in the rule A in geofencing is enabled and I have done the tests with both the C rule enabled and uninhabited

Actually, this does matter. As mentioned before, without Rule C, the sensor notification automation (Rule A) will remain enabled when you arrive home unless you turn it off manually. Based on your screenshot, Rule A doesn’t have geofencing enabled — and even if it did, that wouldn’t meet your needs anyway.
Just to clarify: Rule A successfully enables when you leave home, but it doesn’t automatically disable when you return — is that correct?
Additionally, please note that your phone must physically leave or return home to trigger the geofencing automation. If you stay at home the whole time after setting up the rules, all automations remain active, so you’ll continue to receive sensor notifications even while at home. In this case, for Rule C to work, which disables Rule A to stop the sensor notifications, you need to first leave home and then come back. That return trip is what triggers the automation to turn off the sensor alerts.
