Yes, just copy the code and overwrite the Global driver. It should update the name in Welcome home but open up the app to make sure.
Nope, Departures doesn't use a device.
Thanks!

ha that is awesome. thank you!
is anyone able to use more than 5 presence sensors? I ask as cause I can track people who use my wifi by setting up virtual presence device, i'd like to welcome guests who arrive so 5 is limiting (tho awesome just an idea)
Thanks! I really do love both your apps! They work very well and easy to setup!

I love hearing how people use my apps. This is an awesome use! It would take some serious work to get more than 5 but I'll look into it.
Thanks
yeah it kind of seemed natural to me but not all have google wifi (it's so cool they have ifttt for it at least)
New versions on Github...
Parent:
V2.0.4 - 09/11/19 - Now handles up to 20 friendly names
Child:
V2.1.2 - 09/11/19 - Lot's of code changes, now handles up to 20 presence sensors/friendly names
Driver:
V1.0.4 - 09/11/19 - Now handles up to 20 people
Be sure to update all 3.
Another update...
Child:
V2.1.3 - 09/11/19 - Found a section I forgot to update!
will update. I have two child versions. with different sensors in each. But when someone comes home it announces that fine but then announces another person has arrived who has not.
20 friendly names added! awesome

Well, I guess it's time to let the secret out.... I'm almost done with a huge rewrite that combines Welcome Home, Departures and Depart - Arrivals, PLUS adds a bunch of new stuff! 
Just about every section of code has been modified or completely rewritten. I'll put something out later today and then go back to adding more new stuff!
Be on the lookout for 'Home Tracker'!

Have an Idea for welcome home or the new hometraker. I would like a device that i can send announcements to like "the dog feeder is low, fill it", "the lawn needs watered", "the laundry finished when you were gone" , "it's trash day" and then when welcome home runs be able to pull queued messages and send them all to google home TTS. so when i get home I hear a list of things I need to take care of.
I know i can just send said notifications to the hubitat app. BUT it's way cooler to have my house talk to me!! and I tend to forget if I do not do the task at the time of the notification.
This app is is no longer available.
Please try the new Home Tracker which has replaced it.
Thank you.
