I obtain this information in the github of the home assistant companion app
if you have a galaxy watch 5 and you want to use the ibeacon with espresense you must setup the ibeacon launching notifications to the watch to configure the advertise mode as balanced and the transmitting power as high
Hi this is great piece of automation.
But how does HA know if your mobile phone is home or not home?
espresense knows if you’re in a given room or not, but what constitutes the state of home or not home for a mobile phone?
I thought this has to be something that checks the router if your phone is connected or not.
The automation is turning the transmitter on and off based on the user being home. It’s not used here to determine the person state. They could be using the mobile app device tracker to see if they are home or any other device tracker entity
Hello,
my automation only active o disable de ble transmitter in the watch, if the person is in home.
how can i determine is the person is in home?, easy: in the person i add some presense devices:
the watch
the phone (the home assistant app report the presense home or not home)
the router of my house, report if the phone is connected to the router
a ble keychain with the keys of the home.
If one of this devices is “in home”, then “davizinho is in home”, if all the devices are out of home then “davizinho is out of home”.
on the other hand the espresense. you are right, the espresense only report the room of the devices. But i create other automation for each device that report home or not home in a custom device. i can use this custom device to ad in a person entity and report the home or not home state.
If you want, i can share the automation for this
sorry for my poor english, is not my natural languaje
assuming you followed the steps to the link above this post then I dont think you need to wonder about this question however if your enabled sensors still look like your last screenshot then you did not read the link.
if you still have issues after following the link above you should come back with the logs that are mentioned as part of the same troubleshooting step.
This is not correct at all, make sure to follow the documentation. The error is telling you that the YAML is incorrect, that should be your clue that its time to check that the YAML formatting is whats expected.
yes, I see… using the mobile app to configure it, I missed the notify.mobile.app... and only saw the word notification. Thanks for that!
I revised the YAML file. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so I deleted everything and did it again and now it’s ok. I found my mistake, thank you!
its important to know if perso.gil its your entity.
Go to developers tools, then to “states” and in the filter for entitys put “person.gil” you must see your person and all the trackers that report state to this person.
the automation seems to looks ok. but the more important thing is locate your person entity
