Here’s another one:

Rules Based on MAC or IP Address LAN Presence

Is there a way to have rules based on MAC or IP address presence if a device is on the LAN? For example, my mother in-law will be visiting and as soon as her phone connects to my WiFi, there are certain rules I’d like to stop while she visits. I could do this if I installed the HE app on her phone and used presence, but she’d get confused if the app was on her phone and would probably mess up things.

Metadata Error:Please check if you inadvertently pasted driver code into apps code window on line 21

[thebearmay]

Can you paste a screen shot of the apps code from about line 10

[roberto.grosso.rgr]

[thebearmay]

Ah,,, Just realized what the message is saying. You need to paste that code under the Drivers Code section instead of the Apps Code section.

Iphone Code detect Android Phone...World is changing

I have DHCP in my wify the addresses are quite random

[thebearmay]

If your router supports it, you could set up a static IP address for the phone.

Reserving this IP address to my phone

[ogiewon]

Just in case you weren't already aware... Most new versions of iOS and Android will generate random MAC addresses for their WiFi radios. This is to help with user privacy to prevent a phone from being easily tracked based on its static MAC address. Both iOS and Android allow this feature to be disabled. In order for your router to consistently hand out the same IP address via DHCP each time your phone connects, this 'feature' must be disabled on each phone.

Thank you! I didn’t notice this new setting, and forgot about that announcement. Explains why my arrival rule stopped working.

[jnosa899]

My Amcrest doorbells do this too. It is the most infuriating thing I've ever experienced. Phone's can shut this random crap off but my cameras can't and now my home automation system only has cameras about 10% of the time. I'd like to have the guy that implemented that fired... from a canon...into a wall.

[marktheknife]

It makes sense for a mobile phone that can connect to many different wifi networks, as it’s intended to prevent tracking by advertisers etc. based on the device’s MAC address.

I’m not sure why that would be helpful for a stationary device thats installed in your home like a camera.

[ogiewon]

I wonder if the camera is using a version Android OS, and they simply forgot to disable this feature? Seems like a bug to me.

I have been using [Improved Mobile Presence ] ([RELEASE] Improved Mobile Presence (Android only)) on android for several months and it has been rock solid! So much so I have abandoned the hubitat app completly for presence. It's developer @Johndc7 is great to work with if you have any issues.
