homekit not recognizing when im home or away

Since iOS 26 and new iPhone 17 pro my home won’t recognize when I arrive home or when I leave to automatically run automations. It does on my wives iPhone 17 pro max. I’ve reset locations, deleted automation and re created it, unplugged all hubs and WiFi, then plugged back in, turned on and off location settings, nothing has worked. Any ideas? This has happened before with iOS16

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 26

You might need to check your iPhone settings again in Settings - Your Name - Find My and be sure it’s set to “This Device”. If it says something else like an iPad, click on that to change it to iPhone.Then restart your iPhone.
