This only started this morning, but my automations that are based on my location are acting strangely. For example, I have an automation that locks my doors and turns on a radio when I leave the house, and similarly, it unlocks the doors and turns the radio off when I arrive home. I've been sitting around the house most of the day, and the doors have been randomly unlocking themselves.

I know it's been unusually hot here in Southern California the past two days, but I can't imagine that would have an effect on location services/gps and HomeKit automation.

Any ideas? (iPhone X on dp3)
 
Ok, so since I re-enabled location based automations last night, I have not had any weirdness. Everything is working as expected.

Been having similar issues for the last month or two... lights go on and off all night... if I open maps it looks like it keeps shifting me around.
 
I’ve been having issues and I’m on iOS 11.4.1. My location based triggers will activate when my phone hasn’t left its spot at home. Super annoying as it “finds” itself back home and the lights turn on. When it happens I notice my maps app thinks I’m a mile away from home.

Sad to see it’s an issue in the betas. Guess it’s not just a beta issue.
