This worked best for me: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Presence_detection_(Bluetooth_4.0_Low_energy_Beacon)
I don’t get it right. Would you post your solution? THX
Hi,
Thanks for sharing your scripts/automations.
I’ve been trying to apply your config to my setup but not following how you have don your device tracking.
From what I can see you have an automation is triggering two meta trackers (which act as a proxy for each person in your household) but you also have a bayesian sensor that is looking at the devices too. How are you using each of these in your setup ?
Thanks in advance
I currently use meta trackers for presence. I am experimenting with the Bayesian sensors and they are working well so far.
Wonderfull thanks for the reply. When you are ready, would be great to share how you end up getting on with the Bayesian sensor.
Sorry, one additional question. What are the devices that are device_tracker.alok_alok ? I see these are used as a part of the startup process but wondering their purpose and where they are created?
I want to do the same thing you are trying to do which is use simple device_tracker on two of the same routers. Did you ever get this to work?
Those are Life360 trackers.
Hello. I need hep with the automation.yaml. The presence detection. Apart from presence detection I also want the switch motion detect to work. I am not sure whether below is correct or wrong. I have check yamllint nothing wrong but nothing happen. My HA is 0.58.1 The switch.office_camera_motion is make from command line switch.

Thank you for your advice. Please help with the automation above.
the states should be to: ‘away’ if you are using HA 5x I think
I use 0.58.1
I have tried both not_home and away.
From the docs…
automation:
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: device_tracker.paulus, device_tracker.anne_therese
# Optional
from: 'not_home'
# Optional
to: 'home'
Note from: or to: not state:
This presence detection not working. i check with yamllint and automation create and edit in HA. Although all device trackers list in are shown as away. The input_boolean won’t change the status according to the automation I pasted here.

What exact state is the device tracker displaying in the states table for the phone that is ‘away’?
States should be in quotes. So, you need to use to: 'home' or to: 'not_home'
