Hue precense

rickp

Just had an idea. Since precense doesn't work, and neither owntracks or gps trace are a full working solution either, would it be possible to use phillips hue?

My hue lights always knew when i was home/left and switched the lights properly. Since they (phillips) got it working great and there is some hue intregration to homey, it might be possible to tap in that system? Hue is used with a galaxy s8. 

I'm not into programming at all, so my question is does anyone that's into pogramming know if this can be technically done with the current api?

https://apps.athom.com/app/nl.terryhendrix.smartpresence works perfectly for me. But depends on the brand of phone. You can always use multiple apps/flows to assure the correct status is set...

Also tried that one but our phones (Galaxy / huawai) don't like it. Multiple away/home changes while we didn't go anywhere. 

Anyway, what settings do you use? and what phone('s)?

I have a fairphone-2, works almost perfecty with smartpresence alone. If you add some other triggers like motion-sensors to the mix it will work great.

Will give it another testrun. Combined with motion sensor's isn't going to be a solution. With spring coming up i can stay in the garden for some extended time and don't want to suddenly have the alarm armed because SP failed and there is no motion due to me not being inside. 

================================

Edit:

Tried and played with SP.  There are no options that work or me. If i put the phone down it can't find it unless it receives something like whatsapp, facebook etc... If it doens;t receive anything it goes to afway, even when put on 1200 sec, 300 sec stress and 5 sec time out's.
