Phone Presence Sensor - Hubitat App


Hub Model C-8 Pro Ver: 2.5.0.153

I’m trying to get presence sensing for my phone working using the Hubitat mobile app for Android. I have a Pixel 10 Pro. I have enabled location and unrestricted battery permissions for the app on my phone. I have enabled Geofence in the Hubitat app. I can see in the mobile app that it is correctly identifying when I am in or out of the geofence. It just does not reflect that in the hub. To test if the mobile app is working and connected to the hub I tried sending a notification to my phone which did work. I’m not too sure where to go from here. Any help much appreciated.

When you installed the app, it created a mobile app device. That device should be changing the presence attribute based on location. It is also used to send push notifications to the phone.

If you want to change mode based on location presence, you have to make a rule based on the presence attribute in the phone device.

Hi thanks for your reply. I can see I didn’t explain the issue I’m having that clearly! I’m trying to use the mobile app device. The issue I’m having is the presence state never changes - stays as present when I am out of the Geofence area (even though in the mobile app is shows I am outside the geofence.

Ah, I guess I read the mobile app device to be the Hubitat phone app.

I can't find anywhere in the Android Hubitat app where it tells you what presence device is being used in Hubitat with the app. I just can't find it.

I'm just wondering if you have other phone devices in Hubitat, and the app is sending presence to a different one? When you first install the app, you can choose to use an existing device, or create a new one. Did you create a new one when you installed the app on a new phone?

Other than that, maybe you can reinstall the app and get that option again choose or create a notification presence device.
