Description

**iOS device model, version and app version**

Model Name: 13 pro
Software Version: 17.3.1
App version: 2024.535

**Home Assistant Core Version**

2024.2.1

**Describe the bug**

The documentation (https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/core/location#ibeacons) states:
"It will then begin using iBeacons instead of your location for enter (but not exit) triggers around your zones. To add an iBeacon to zone.home add the above under your customize."

From my experience this is not true. I have an iBeacon in 4th floor which only reaches ~1 floor. This iBeacon is attached in the config to my home zone which is also trimmed down to 30 m radius.

If I am entering the zone, being on ground floor outside the house and for sure outside the reach of the iBeacon, still I get a home zone entered triggered. => Zone enter detection although it should not be triggered in a zone where a iBeacon is defined.

I also tried to be sure that the iBeacon config is working as expected. I did move the zone 300 m away, keeping the iBeacon in the same place.

If I now get close to the iBeacon, I get a home zone enter => Zone detection by iBeacon as defined.

I did not crosscheck if I can enter the home zone by physically entering the moved home zone. I ran out of time, but can still redo this if requested.
