I use 0.58.1
I have tried both not_home and away.
From the docsâŚ
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 wonât 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 âawayâ?
States should be in quotes. So, you need to use to: 'home' or to: 'not_home'

thank you very much for you reply. I will try again this evening.
the âhomeâ and âawayâ automation. I used automation ui from home assistant itself to recorrect however it doesnât work.
I have this working perfectly with 4 out of five iPhones. I am using the iOS app and Bluetooth. On the 5th iPhone, I canât get Bluetooth to work. It reports the initial state (home or not_home), is listed in my known devices, and seems to work perfectly until the state of the phone changes (from home to not_home or not_home to Home). Then the Bluetooth device tracker doesnât change its status. Any ideas? It is a brand new iPhone 8. I am stumped and do not know what to try.
I didnât reply anything back in this post earlier. However, I got them working and would like to share in packages. The input_boolean just to show the state whether Iâm home or away. This will automatically turn on and off. The automation make the input_boolean to away or home. Default state is home.

@Aussybob I was using it a week or so ago and did run into a couple problems, but I donât know if that was my own fault (formatting and indentation or substituting my own values.
For the presence tracking, I use the following for myself and my wife. It works great and checks:
- Owntracks (our devices report their GPS)
- Phone bluetooth
The automation checks the presence and then alerts via Pushbullet notification plus changes the status to Away.
Hereâs the setup for me, hopefully it can help:
CONFIGURATION.YAML
notify:
- platform: pushbullet

api_key: your_api_key
# Create input boolean for Brandon presence tracking

# Configure Blutooth tracking
- platform: bluetooth_tracker
I just did a Bluetooth scan with Samsung Galaxy 7 and then in my known_devices.yaml file I have the entry (notice the BT_ prefix in the mac address):
brandon_phone_bluetooth:
hide_if_away: false
icon: mdi:bluetooth
mac: BT_1C:E2:56:B9:A1:5C
name: Brandon Phone Bluetooth

Hope this helps!
Cool! Thanks. I run Home Assistant on a native Linux box (an old Dell desktop). Iâm unsure whether it has bluetooth capability, so Iâll have to look into that.
Any errors?
Can you show me an example on how to use input_boolean in presence-based automations? I am really new to HASS so i am trying to understand all about thisâŚ
Thanks in advanceâŚ
Thank you for your idea. I have implemented this for my wife and me. Now I want to make an automation to turn something off when both of us leave the home not when anyone of us leaves! How can I do this âANDâ
- alias: 'Kaffee aus niemand daheim'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_boolean.lukas_home, input_boolean.kerstin_home
from: 'on'
to: 'off'
action:
service: homeassistant.turn_off
entity_id: light.kaffeeschalter
If this the right way?
Create a group, and add both input Booleans to that group. Then use the group for your automation.
