A delay in binary sensor

[poudenes]

Hi All,

Me and my friend have new iOS 16.x and suddenly we leave home without leaving home.
I have automations in homekit that will turn on or off a switch.

Those 2 switches are in a sensor: binary_sensor.group_family_manual

My whole house is lean on this sensor to do lot of things when we leave or when we arrive.

- binary_sensor:
    - name: "Group Family Manual"
      unique_id: "3e43a954-abc1-447a-af7c-8f789ba73f2f"
      state: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.helpers_kay_home_homekit', 'on') or is_state('input_boolean.helpers_peter_home_homekit', 'on') }}"
      device_class: presence

Because of the (bug) in iOS I want to have a delay for 15 second. Because when we disconnect from home via Homekit within 10secs where back in the house (arrive).

So can I change the sensor that it will wait 15secs before it will change state?

Use the delay_on option. Set it to '00:00:15' and the binary_sensor will change to on only when the input_boolean’s state changes to on for at least 15 seconds.

No notifications available in iOS 16 beta

@zacwest posted this in Discord, which fixed it for me. oh this makes sense. iOS 16 has a new privacy feature - it lies about the device name! you’ll need to manually set the device name in the server’s settings (in the app) to what you want, for now, on iOS 16 it’s possible we’ll be able to ask apple for permission to get the real device name once again, but for now the app is told basically “the device was renamed from Bob’s iPhone to iPhone” so we pass that along to the notify service

I don’t think so. It’s not always when it happen. But random and sometimes with my phone sometimes with my friends.

The whole leave arrive action is within homekit. Created 2 automations per person: 1 for leave home and 1 for arrive home. The action is turn on or off a switch. This switch is used in a group. The group is used to manage when we are home.or not.
