feature request: Add overview of actual user location/precense

Is it possible to add an option in the desktop app to see and edit the current presence status of all users according to Homey.

I mean to see somewhere if a user is present or not according to Homey, not the exact location where the user is, only the presence status according to Homey.
And an option to manually edit/change this status if incorrect.

For example according:
The user is according homey at home but is actually not, you can change the mode so homey performs the correct flows when the user actually comes home.
Ofcourse also reversed:
The user is according homey NOT at home but he/she is actually at home, the option to set this manually so homey performs the flows when the user leaves home.

    @B3rt   There is a Card for Presense, so you can SET the state for some one is Home or Away depending on an action.


  • Nice, did not know this!
    I hope there is also a card for away, i will take a look.

    But would still be great to see the actual state what homey thinks a user is...



  • This is all possible with the standard flowcards. But you want some visual indicator like Smarter Presence has?



    Where do you want that visual indicator to show?

  • indeed, just an icon of the user and it state, best was also to toggle the state on the icon.
    Best way was same location as all other devices, add device: type user status and add it to a room
  • You could use presence with a bitflip device, that would make it visible.
    Found the api call for the presence yesterday, so will integrate it some day in HomeyDash

  • "an icon of the user and it state", ""same location as all other devices, add device: type user status and add it to a room"
    already works with https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.terryhendrix.smartpresence
    combining some triggers from smarter presence and a virtual device should do the job...

    btw, tried this, but this flow is not possible.

    The tag card 'wie' simply cannot be used to set 'markeer als thuis' to the person, you have to choose from a list, using the tag card is not possible, so in the flow you have no value of which user to set 'as home'....

    These 2 'apps' (native and presenseapp) cannot be shared, the presence app does not know which user accounts is coming or leaving home...
