Pushover and device tracker examples

Configuration

Has anyone got examples of using Pusher to only send a notification if people are ‘home’? maybe just using nmap, or possibly gps logger if / when i get that working.

I’ve just implemented pusher to send a notification for when the garage door opens. While this is great, i would like some home or away dependences to be included in the rule i think. It might get a bit annoying after a while if i keep getting notifications every time.

Also, has anyone used gps logger to send a push notification for when someone is on the way home with examples you don’t mind sharing so i can get my head around how that’s done.

I’m struggling with gps_logger at the moment, but my end goal is to try and get the garage door to open once i’m in range of the house but only if the vehicle that lives in the garage is not already inside. Can anyone suggest the best senor option to do this? A basic option would be either distance senor or weight sensor but what about some low power device that is attached to the vehicle perhaps?

Going off track a little, sorry.

Just bumping this up to the top, if that’s a thing still in today’s forums.

I think i’m going to discard gps logger as a location method as it’s draining my battery too much and i’ve disabled it. Would like to see some home / not_home code for implementing pusher notifications if anyone has done something like that?

The likely hood of someone having this example is low. Your best bet is to search for automations that send notifications to ANY platform if people are home/away. Then find an example of a single notification for pushover.

These examples are everywhere btw. Here is the documentation for pushover that actually has what you are looking for:

here is an example of the automation that will message when a device_tracker changes state:
