Set input.boolean when last person leave house

Configuration
1

Hello.
I would like to turn on my alarm and turn on an “anti-theft” light theme when the last person in the household leaves the house.
Any suggestions?

How do you track people?

With OwnTracks, network router and iCloud

We have multiple device trackers for each individual assigned to each person, and a “family” group containing all persons.
When group.family is “not_home” then there is no-one in the house.

@TazUk: Could you please post a copy of your configuration file?

Something like @TazUk proposed, or alternatively i use this:

binary_sensor:
# someone at home?
  people_home:
    value_template: >-
      {{ is_state('device_tracker.google_maps_123', 'home')
         or is_state('device_tracker.1_wifi', 'home') # these are ping sensors
         or is_state('device_tracker.2_wifi', 'home')
         or is_state('device_tracker.3_wifi', 'home')
         or is_state('device_tracker.google_maps_345', 'home')
         or is_state('device_tracker.google_maps_234', 'home') }}

Then use an automation to switch your boolean after 10 minutes that every1’s gone:

automation:
  - alias: Mark house as empty
    trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.people_home
      to: 'off'
      for:
        minutes: 10
    action:
    - service: input_boolean.turn_on
      data:
        entity_id: input_boolean.home_empty

@krash: Thanks! That looks good. I will try to integrate that into my own config.

I added device trackers to Persons created through the front end (I’m trying to use the front end where possible), under Configuration > Persons.

I have my configuration files broken out, so in my configuration.yaml I reference the groups.yaml:

group: !include groups.yaml

And in groups.yaml I created the family group (names redacted):

# group for security automations, hidden
family:
  name: Family
  view: no
  entities:
    - person.tazuk
    - person.tazuk_so

Example automation using group.family:

- id: camera_blink_arm_auto
  alias: 'Arm Blink Cameras'
  hide_entity: True
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: group.family
      from: 'home'
      to: 'not_home'
      for:
        minutes: 10
  condition:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm
      state: 'disarmed'
  action:
    - service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_away
      data:
         entity_id: "alarm_control_panel.blink_sync"
    - delay: '00:00:{{ (range(45, 60)|random|int) }}'
    - service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_away
      data:
         entity_id: "alarm_control_panel.blink_outdoor"

Thanks, @TazUK. I’ve been inspired by your code, and I got it figured out.
