[RELEASE] Presence Manager - household occupancy manager

Presence Manager combines Hubitat mobile geolocation presence, phone IP checks, and Third Party Services switches (Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings) into one reliable Home/Away status per person and for the household as a whole. Built to avoid the classic false-Away problem, where one flaky signal - a phone briefly dropping off Wi-Fi, a geofence blip - triggers automations as if everyone left, even when other evidence clearly shows someone's still home.

Highlights:

  • Fast-to-Home, conservative-to-Away decision logic with configurable delays
  • 10 x per-person evidence: mobile presence, local IP, or both
  • Guest Mode for visitors, without treating them as full household members
  • Presence Report - 90 day per-person history with CSV export
  • Diagnostic Mode shows the exact evidence and scoring behind every decision, not a black box
  • Optional location line via OpenStreetMap
  • Drives its own child device or an existing switch/presence device, so it plugs straight into Rule Machine or dashboards

Free, open source, Apache 2.0 licensed. Install via Hubitat Package Manager (search "Presence Manager")
