Service to add/remove/update zones

[martinhoess]

HA itself currently has no possibility to dynamically create/modify/delete zones (lat/long/radius).

However, this function would be quite practical for a few applications.

Another use case would be, for example, to operate HA in a camper van and make the current location automatically the home zone.

I have no idea how the zones in HA are structured internally and if this is even currently possible.

I've converted the issue into a discussion (as it is not a bug at this point).

Anyways, I like that idea @martinhoess 👍
I'll keep it in mind for an future iteration (or maybe someone beats me to it).

Shipped in v1.1.0.

Wow, that was fast.
Now I just have to remember what I originally was making that I would have needed this for. 😄

THANKS!

My use case is to create a zone when the person is 'stable' in a specific place and then the zone is used to measure entry/exit. Stable is that the lat/lon are somewhat the same.

Nice, that is actually pretty genius 👍

Unfortunately this does not work for me

Can you please open up an issue? Thanks 👍
