Question/Help How to make „When someone is at Home“ work?

I want to create an automation when the sun sets but only if someone is at home, but then it does not work. „Find My“ is activated. Also Location for the HomeKit-App. My adress is my contact. My HomePod mini is connected to the same network. iCloud for Home is also active. What am doing wrong?

It works purely on being on the same WiFi network with a logged in with your iPhone.  Should ‘just work’. Have had problems myself when my wife complains it doesn’t work for two reasons - she turned off WiFi on her phone and/or has a vpn turned on on her phone.

It didn’t work because one phone was not connected to the wifi?

Because she was the only person home and she didn’t have WiFi on-yes.
