Component Choice for Tasker Presence Detection

Hi All,

Simply put, I use Tasker through API calls to my Home Assistant to change my location on HA.

On my first build of HA I was using MQTT. Is there a simpler service I can use instead, such as binary_sensor (can only hold two possible states though) that would be more appropriate?

P.S. My old technique of using MQTT cannot be used as device_trackers do not appear to be working on my Hass IO instance. (will debug)
