Manual presence detection when front door opens or closes

Configuration
1

Hello,

I mounted a reed switch/sensor on my front door and I want to use it as a trigger for bluetooth presence detection. I set “interval_seconds: 0” in configuration for bluetooth tracker, but apparently this doesn’t disable automatic scanning, because my presence is still being updated without the front door being opened/closed.

device_tracker:
  - platform: bluetooth_tracker
    interval_seconds: 0
    new_device_defaults:
      track_new_devices: false

- id: '1563064900120'
  alias: Preverjanje prisotnosti, ko se vhodna vrata odprejo
  trigger:
  - entity_id: binary_sensor.vhodna_vrata
    from: Closed
    platform: state
    to: Open
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: device_tracker.bluetooth_tracker_update
- id: '1563064900130'
  alias: Preverjanje prisotnosti, ko se vhodna vrata zaprejo
  trigger:
  - entity_id: binary_sensor.vhodna_vrata
    from: Open
    platform: state
    to: Closed
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: device_tracker.bluetooth_tracker_update
  - delay: '120'
  - service: device_tracker.bluetooth_tracker_update
  - delay: '300'
  - service: device_tracker.bluetooth_tracker_update

Nobody has any idea, what I am doing wrong?

Change the states in your triggers from “Open/Closed” to “on/off”. Case is sensitive.

binary_sensors can only have states of on or off.
