+For each tracked [device](/integrations/device_tracker/) or [person](/integrations/person/), a sensor is created showing the distance from the monitored zone in a unit depending on your [Home Assistant Unit System](/docs/configuration/basic) selection. When a tracked person or device enters the monitored zone, the distance is set to 0.
 You can use the [Min/Max](/integrations/min_max) integration to determine the nearest and furthest distance.
