Regarding the topic - is there any chance for phone location to have ‘keepalive’ and make it’s location unavailable in HA? Example: phone is at home, report it’s location and goes off/airplane mode. In HA all automations will act as it’s owner is still there, even if it’s not.

It most certainly is for any zone: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zone/#home-zone

have a radius of 100 meters. To override this, create a zone configuration and name it ‘Home’.

Oh, I didn’t know that I can override the default radius for the Home zone. I thought it is impossible. Thank you very much for the hint!
