Zone enter does not only rely on iBeacon if defined, but also checks for location zone enter #2580

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.

I tried. Put the zone far away (1 km) from the iBeacon. Still entering the zone area triggers the zone.
Is this a bug or how can I prevent triggering by location presence. I want to get "enter zone" only from iBeacon.

To ensure that this is also nothing special for the home zone I created an extra zone for the iBeacon.

Also the same here. Geolocated presence triggers the zone, which should not happen as per documentation and is not my desired behaviour.
