I’ve done a bunch of searching and reading but still am not super clear on the config options available for device trackers (specifically Nmap and bluetooth). I’m having an issue where both nmap and bluetooth tracking are frequently cycling between home and away, even though I’m sitting at my desk next to the rPi. The result of this is that my bayesian sensors are triggering inappropriately.
1. interval_seconds (Seconds between each scan for new devices)
1a. What is a “new device”? Is it a non-tracked device it sees for the first time, or a device transitioning from away to home?
2. consider_home (Seconds to wait till marking someone as not home after not being seen)
2a. Is “not being seen” relative to the last time the device is seen based on the interval_seconds?
3. home_interval (The number of minutes Nmap will not scan this device, assuming it is home, in order to preserve the device battery)
3a. is this for Nmap only?
4. Can Nmap use all three of these configuration options?
5. If a device tracker scans every 15 seconds (interval_seconds), it will see a device 4 times in a minute. If consider_home is set at 180, the device would be set as away if the device does not respond to a “ping” within 3 minutes. In other words, the device needs to miss the “ping” for 3 minutes (aka 12 “pings”).
5a. If a device misses the “ping” for 120 seconds, then responds to the “ping” at 135 seconds, does the 180 second timer start over?
