Home (Monitor) Presence App V2

Klagio · April 5, 2020, 8:18am

Hi just installed it through HACS on a NUC. Plus I have a pi zero w and 2 pi3.

How do I install all, is there some tutorial?

Klagio · April 5, 2020, 2:53pm

Ok I am trying to install it. Some questions please.

I installed appdaemon from HASSIO addon
Installed from HACS this component
Under appdaemon/apps/Monitor-app there is a file home_presence_app_example, so I am modifying this file and rename it home_presence_app

Some questions a bit unclear
A. inside appadaemon/app.yaml hot to reference to home_presence_app that is under appdaemon/app/Monitor-app ?? Or shall I put the content of homepresence_app.yaml, inside app.yaml??
A. not sure the difference between home_motion_sensor and home_gateway_sensors I have a bunch of PIR (mostly Xiaomy PIR sensors and door sensors)

B. known_devices is the MAC_ADDRESS of the WiFi MAC of smartphones generally?
C. How to get the known_beacons, of devices, for example of my Galaxy Watch??

What do I need to do with my pi3 and pi0W, how do I program those, or I just put the data in the remote_monitors: section, and the program those the programming of each device?? Or?

that’s my appdaemon log, maybe someone can help telling me what I do wrong

this I have under appdaemon/apps/Montior-app/home_presence_app.yaml

Odianosen25 · April 5, 2020, 6:50pm

Hello,

Your issue is actually beyond this app, I think you should check on the monitor thread itself for assistance.

Once it’s been resolved, so let me know if you still having issues.

Regards

Odianosen25 · April 5, 2020, 7:05pm

The You can leave the app config in home_presence_app.yaml. There is no need of moving it to apps.yaml

home_motion_sensors are not really needed, but home_gateway_sensorsis needed, as it uses it to scan for devices. Do your door sensors should go to home_gateway_sesnors

The MAC address belonging to the device’s Bluetooth. Each Bluetooth device has a MAC address associated with it.

I honestly don’t use the beacons, so not sure how to get it as you requesting. So I am afraid I can’t help you there.

The Error you getting is an AD error, which will be fixed in the next release. To fix it for now, kindly add the http component as described here.

Regards

Klagio · April 5, 2020, 7:30pm

oK, thanks, almost all fixed. Is the below warning to be fixed? Not sure what that is

BTW I guess now I have to install monitor on nmy pi3 and i0w.

I am following these instructions

but up to which point I have to install? Until this below (point 3 mqtt settings), included, and then no more??

Initial run:

Configuration files will be created with default preferences. Any executables that are not installed will be reported. All can be installed via apt-get install ...

sudo bash monitor.sh

Edit mqtt_preferences file:

sudo nano mqtt_preferences

#################

also I do not understand which are these username and passwords … where do I set them up???


remote_monitors:
    disable: False
    guest_room_pi3:
      auto_reboot_when_offline: True
      host: 192.168.1.239
      username: !secret guest_room_monitor_username
      password: !secret guest_room_monitor_password

Klagio · April 5, 2020, 8:57pm

how/where to see this server?

Odianosen25 · April 5, 2020, 8:58pm

The warning is totally fine, so don’t bother abt it.

You install until the creation of the behaviour_preferences and all the reporting true in it. Then it’s all good

Klagio · April 5, 2020, 9:25pm

Ops, sorry I do not get it. I do not see behaviour_preferences in the instructions. So do I need to set mqtt_preferences and known_static_addresses in EACH pi3 and pi0w, or is not needed???

Klagio · April 5, 2020, 9:31pm

Other small issue. If I use my smartphone and my watch, I will have 2 binary_sensor.watch and binary_sensor.phone … will I need to do a template sensor to “merge” the 2 into one single binary_sensor??

Like the below, or there is a better system?


binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      john:
        device_class: presence
        value_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.rwatch', 'on') or is_state('binary_sensor.phone_motion', 'on') }}"

Klagio · April 5, 2020, 10:07pm

also how to launch a SCAN to all the pi’s?

Odianosen25 · April 8, 2020, 9:45am

Yes for now you have to. I haven’t gotten around to merging different devices for a single person

The app handles that automatically for you based on the state of the gateway_sensors. Also the monitor system itself allows to do that.

Regards

Klagio · April 8, 2020, 10:53am

if I understood correctly there is an arrival scan and departure scan … how is handled that?

Odianosen25 · April 8, 2020, 12:09pm

Yes there is. The monitor system supports it by default by sending an empty payload to the topic monitor/scan/depart monitor/scan/arrive

Klagio · April 8, 2020, 1:08pm

Ok, just that I understand, if I publish that topic it will go to all nodes (pi0w running monitor)?

Odianosen25 · April 8, 2020, 2:58pm

Yes it will

Texangeek · May 20, 2020, 5:56pm

So after quite a few failed attempts I have managed (I think) to install AppDaemon and the Home Presence App. However, no matter what I do I can’t seem to get AD to recognize that the app is installed.

In the /config/appdeamon/apps/Monitor-App folder I have a home_presence_app.yaml file that contains the following:

What additional configuration file(s) are required to run the Home Presence App successfully?

rationi_meae · August 3, 2020, 1:39am

I just installed the following:

monitor
mqtt (hass add-on)
appdaemon (hass add-on)
monitor-app (hacs automation)

I now see the related binary_sensor entities. However, I do not see the “nearest_monitor” attribute anywhere. Please help. Thank you.

Odianosen25 · August 3, 2020, 6:26am

Hello @rationi_meae,

Did you pair the devices with the nodes? Without pairing, you can’t have rssi readings and by extension the nearest monitor attributes.

Regards
