WiFi Connection along with Geofencing

[srstudiostech]

A feature that would be nice to see besides Geofencing (as I am always having issues with it auto arming and disarming) would be the ability for HE to detect when my mobile devices are connected to the same local network as my hub to disarm and arm HSM. Not sure on how plausible it would be, but it would definitely be a little more stable than the current geofencing. Most times geofencing will state that I am away until I open either the dashboard or mobile app on my mobile device then it realizes 'hey man, you're home, I'll go ahead and disarm'. In the meantime I'm making a mad dash to my tablet to disarm the system as I have sirens going off due to a false intrusion detection.

Don't know what phone type you have but I'm using IOS devices as do the wife & kids and this is what works for me.
I'm using the following..

1. iPhone Wifi Presence Driver
2. Locative on phones with HE Maker API
3. Presence Governor
   For me, this solution is rock solid.
   Hope that helps.

You can do this with the below if you have a Unifi setup?

[deprecated] UniFi Presence Sensor

I've created a Unifi Presence sensor that will log into your Unifi controller and check to see whether specified mac addresses are connected, and then update a Hubitat Elevation virtual switch. A virtual switch is currently required, as MakerAPI does not allow modification of virtual presence sensors. The workaround is (old details removed) use Cobra's DH that has both on/off and presence/absence built in. And skip step 9. Requirements: access to UniFi controller (local works, not sure about cl…

so this iphone presence sensor may be just what I am needing until I can get an updated wifi setup, looking through the documentation, it looks as though people with various android phones are able to utilize it as well, very nice, let's see what happens

I use this solution on my AsusWRT router. It's the most reliable of any presence option they I have tried. I use @jwetzel1492's Combined Presence app with this and the Hubitat mobile app presence on both Android and iOS devices.

Presence Sensors

I gave that code a shot, it works great. I added this to the update method so I could get the right urls: def updated() { log.debug "away url: ${fullLocalApiServerUrl('away')}?access_token=${state.accessToken}" log.debug "home url: ${fullLocalApiServerUrl('home')}?access_token=${state.accessToken}" } Here is what I get in the logs: 2018-03-15 16:12:33.795:debughome url: http://192.168.1.15/apps/api/776/home?access_token=2a16f329-7e13-4d62-b925-7682abdc7985 2018-03-15 16:12:33.790:de…

ability for HE to detect when my mobile devices are connected to the same local network as my hub

This is a standard way of improving home/away presence recognition. There are many posts on the subject. Personally I use 3 methods combined using Rule Machine (or you can use one of several apps to do this type of "combined presence"... again search is your friend)...(1) wifi connection, (2) Life360 and (3) the Hubitat app. I've found the combination of these 3 is bullet proof.

[srstudiostech]

unfortunately I've tried the life360 and it does not work for me for some reason, on my mobile i completed my circle, my places etc. Yet on go on to hubitat and install the app and it will not bring up places for me, everything else pulls up but places

Hi. Could you please post a link to each of those items

[UPDATED] iPhone WiFi Presence Sensor

https://github.com/joelwetzel/Hubitat-iPhone-Presence-Sensor iPhone WiFi Presence Sensor for Hubitat A virtual presence sensor for Hubitat that checks if an iPhone is on the WiFi network. Note: iPhones can put their WiFi to sleep, so you should not use this as your only way of detecting presence. However, it can be used to augment other presence sensors. Interpret results this way: If this sensor shows "present", the iPhone is DEFINITELY present. If this sensor shows "not present", the iP…

Use Locative for Presence

Anyway you can help with the setup. I can’t seem to get it working. I created a virtual presence sensor and and used the maker api send device command cloud link to the assigned device ID and populated arrived and departed in separate links. Added them to locative. But isn’t working. https://cloud.hubitat.com/api/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/apps/294/devices/[Xxxx]/[arrived]?access_token=xxxxx-xxxxx

Presence Governor

This application is no longer maintained or supported, use at you're own risk Presence Governor v1.2 Have you found GPS on your phone to be flaky? Have more than one type of presence sensor per individual? Presence Governor was created to combine several types of presence detection methods into a single proxy presence device. Fobs, WiFi, Geofencing and Lock Codes each with a unique logic in how the presence of the detection process triggers the proxy presence. https://github.com/omayhem…

Hope this helps

[mraz.camren]

Thank you! It will definitely help

[jwetzel1492]

It looks like Presence Governor is no longer maintained or supported. I can happily report that Combined Presence is both maintained and supported! In fact, I've just published a major V2 update.

[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…

The best way to install it is by using Hubitat Package Manager: [BETA] Hubitat Package Manager. That will ensure that you get bug fixes and updates in a timely manner.

@jwetzel1942 Thanks mate, you beat me to it. I forgot Presence Governor isn't supported anymore but Combined Presence is, cheers

[brianwilson]

If you’re an iOS household, Geofency works great for us. [RELEASE] Geofency Presence

[mraz.camren]

How does that app integrate with HE?

[brianwilson]

App allows webhooks to be called and can call a HE OAUTH url. I use this + HE presence + Homekir presence via Homebridge (via combined presence app) and haven’t had any issues. Geofency is Can also have overlapping radius entries - so I have one that does AC adjustments, but it’s a much wider radius than the one used to arm the alarm.

[mraz.camren]

Thank you! I think I will need some help setting this up when I am ready
