Currently I’m using my mobile device to track presence detection. I’m still in the process of getting it as accurate as possible.
In this process I feel like there’s a need for more than home/not_home though.
This is mostly for security reasons.
For example, if in my “coming home” routine there’s an error in the location reporting and my lights switch on, that’s not a big deal, the device tracker will correct and switch them off again. Even if it doesn’t auto-correct, having the lights on is not a big issue.
That’s different when it concerns my door lock though. Having that open erroneously is a big deal.
So, what I’d like is to have my device tracker to say “not_home” => “arriving home” => “home”.
I’m aware that I could probably create two persons “me_1” and “me_2” and attach different device trackers to them, such that one works on a zone with a 200m radius" (being arriving home) and the other on connection to the wifi network.
I was wondering if somebody has come across the same situation and how you dealt with
