Can I get your all’s help with coming up with a solution for the subject?
I have a few options which have already been determined as a no go by the other half.
Doesn’t like the battery drain created by using location services with HA App—> Whether this is truly the case or not is neither here nor there, the disagreement has already occurred so looking for another method.
Looking for the phone connected to wifi is also a no go because half of the time, it is turned off.
Can anyone give me some other ideas?
Currently, the alarm/ door on/off is handled by scanning a hidden NFC tag so this handles the majority of the issues that could arise but still wouldn’t mind having some type of method to determine who is home-- passively if possible.
use your routers integration, once her phone is on wifi youll get an update…also you can turn off location sensors and just use wifi connection sensor…that one only updates when wifi status changes
