Is there a way or log for me to find out what is causing some of my accessories to change to on (someone home) when both my wife and myself are gone? Happens from time to time.
 
I can't answer your question. But I think this part of HomeKit (assuming this is HomeKit) is yet something else that is fundamentally screwed by those Muppets at Apple. Very randomly when I put on my Apple Watch in the morning, all of my cameras start recording and I get notification saying that everyone has left home. I then have to restart my iPhone for them to go back to "at home" mode.

It's like Apple is going out of its way to make everything completely and utterly 100% unreliable.
 
I've found the HomeKit geofencing to be very unreliable and laggy to the point where I have disabled any automation that has anything to do with arriving or leaving.
 
This has started randomly happening to me. My lights will just cut off . I have automation for my lights to turn off when I leave. So something must think I’ve left home . Very odd
 
Is there any chance this is happening to you guys when you perhaps either turn on, restart or wear one of your devices?

I noticed it happened once when I put my iPhone on the charger but also randomly happened when I was in the bed. It just started in the last few weeks.
