I have played around with Homebridge a few times... In each case, I believe I experienced slowdowns of my hub, but I can't say for sure that Homebridge caused it. So, at this point I am not using it at all.
Give Locative a try. It only takes a few minutes to set it up. Just add an extra Virtual Presence sensor device, and expose it via the Maker API App. Then copy the cloud URL from the maker api (with your device specific text replacements) into the app on your phone. One for arrival and one for departure. That's it.
You can also create additional Geofences for places like Work, so that a different Virtual Presence Sensor could be triggered when you leave to cause your house to get ready for your arrival.
