I use a few different apps and combine them into a single presence sensor for reliability

[RELEASE] Combined Presence

https://github.com/joelwetzel/Hubitat-Combined-Presence Combined Presence app for Hubitat An app for Hubitat to combine two or more presence sensors to control an output Virtual Presence Sensor. There are 3 types of combiners: Standard Combiners (Use this for combining wifi and gps-based sensors for a single person. It is optimized for that.) Boolean-OR Combiners (Example: If Person1 OR Person2 is home, then the virtual SomeoneIsHome sensor should be home.) Advanced Combiners (All logic o…

1. Hubitat app - works great for detecting arrival. Mine tended to skip away from the geofence for no reason. So I set this to detect arrival only (I'm on iOS. It might have been fixed already since i set this - i dont know)
2. Alexa app - since i have it might as well use it. using routines to turn on and off virtual presence devices
   3.. Life360 (free version) - most reliable for me so far
3. Wifi presence - great at detecting arrival, but slow for detecting departures

So my logic for the combined presence sensor is:
Arrive if:
Hubitat or alexa or life 360 or wifi presence arrives

Depart if:
alexa or life 360 departs

I've never had a false presence since. Of course, you can add different services that works for you but its always good to have redundancy.
