How do I add my smartphone as a starters-device?

I want to set Nest temperature when I dock my smartphone at home under 30°. But even the wizard doesn't seem to use the correct name for my smartphone. So what should I add at starters: device: ....

Also should "type: device.state.Reachable" not be "type: device.state.charging" ?

metadata:
name: phonedocked
description: Set the Nest temperture to 17° when phone is docked

automations:
starters:
- type: device.state.Reachable
device: smartphone
state: reachable
is: true

actions:
- type: device.command.ThermostatTemperatureSetpoint
devices:
- Hofstade - Downstairs
thermostatTemperatureSetpoint: 17.0C

Thanks for reaching out. Not all devices can be used as starters. Make sure you add the device to the home you want to create a routine for. You won't be able to use your smartphone as a starter device.
