HomeKit as a Presence Sensor

[Dosch]

Hi all,
I am quite new to HA and to this community (actually, it is my first post). Thanks @ptdalen and @ha_steve for this great contribtion, which did help a newbie a lot.
So I wanted to share some updates:

Configuration of HomeKit Integration
Works now completely in the UI of the HomeKit Integration. No manual update of configuration.yaml needed.

Presence Group
Still needed in configuration.yaml. As of now, no possibilities in the UI.

Binary Sensor in Device Tracker
My approach for presence detection was:

• Device Tracker using NMAP Tracker Integration for my iPhone (because Netgear Integration not working).
• A binary sensor, triggered by the input_boolean by the automation in HomeKit (as described above).

As a variant from above described approach, I did integrate the binary sensor into a presence group, I used ha-composite-tracker:

House Mode Adaption in the HomeKit
I do use my Composite Tracker to trigger the above mentioned input_select.house_mode. For my comfort, I show this input_select in the HomeKit. Be aware, that the name of input_select will not be shown on the iPhone automatically. You have to adapt it manually, as described here:

iOS16: HomeKit with input_select: states all named equally

Hello, I use some input_select helper to switch to some different states. That worked fine until I moved to iOS16, in the Home App I could see the different switches named correctly after the name of the states. In the new Home App under iOS16 I do see the switches, but they are all named to the name of the input_select helper. Also calling the states via Siri does not work anymore. [image]
