Leave Home and Arrive home not working as expected

Recently my Leave Home automation runs at odd times. Just sitting here and my lights/TV go off as if I left home. Similar issue with Arrive - light goes on in the middle of the night.

NOT my internet as in the Leave example I maybe watching a movie on the network so I know it is functioning and properly connected.

YES - before you ask...ALL devices have the latest updates.

Apple TV - 15.3

iPhone - 15.3

Wemo plug also recently updated

TV is an LG - recently updated

Depends on version of OS where you'll find the Share My Location in settings I had to search for "Share My Location"

My settings are as suggested. I did another update and again deleted the offending automations and recreated them. One thing I wish is that I could say it only applies to ME and my iPhone. The only option seems to be "Anyone". Now, of course, I"m the only one living here so there should not be anyone else attached but it would be more clear if I could say this only applies to me .

And just sitting here typing this my light WENT OFF and then turned on again so In the middle of typing a sentence my phone magically left the room and walked back in! RATS!

Hi there Cerridwyn,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. It's certainly important to make sure your automations run at the expected times, and we'd like to see how we can assist.

Verifying that all of your devices are updated was a great start. As a next step, we recommend deleting the Leave Home automation you have set up currently and then re-creating it and testing it out. Does this make a difference? Let us know.

Kind regards.

Cerridwyn,

Thank you for letting us know. Under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Home, is that set to "While Using" or something else? Also, under Settings > Accounts > iCloud > Share My Location > From, make sure you have it set to "This Device."

Take care.
