Show presence in App

Eternity · January 2018

Unfortunately, the Better Presence App is no longer able to show if a person is home or away. That's a pity, because with one glance on my phone I was able to see who was home and how wasn't...

I have tried to use the App Virtual Devices with its multi mode ability to achieve the same, but the icons do not have any 'logic'...they are static.

Any suggestions on how to get a visual feedback on the presence of home members?

Thanks!

Make a VT button called Pietje with for example KAKU.

make these flows

IF Pietje enters the building THEN turn on Pietje
IF Pietje left the building THEN turn of Pietje

succes

Simple solution, and works in both android Homey Apps. Thanks @glijie!

Sorry for asking but what is a VT button?

I presume a Virtual Device (https://apps.athom.com/app/com.arjankranenburg.virtual)

Thnx eternity ;-)

if you are already using the app from klik aan klik uit then it is also possible to make a virtual button. Just add the socket and generate a new signal. Then you have your virtual button which you can use in flows

Thnx but that seems a bit complicated to me, I'll try that later if everything else fails. Btw, a upgrade for the homey app is coming this month and I hope they fixed this.
