The state of your tracked device will be `'home'` if it is in the [home zone](/components/zone#home-zone), detected by your network or Bluetooth based presence detection. If you're using a presence detection method that includes coordinates then when it's in a zone the state will be the name of the zone (in lower case). When a device isn't at home and isn't in any zone, the state will be `'not_home'`.
