How are you handling multiple sensors being able to detect a single tracker, for example? I know in my house I can be standing in the middle of the family room and the official Trackr app can still detect a device in the middle of the kitchen. I’ll have to look into this though because it just creates a lot of questions in my head… You can find many, many previous efforts to handle this via room occupancy monitoring using motion sensors, pressure sensors, and the like. Not only that, but this solution would be more adequate for tackling indoor presence, even if it requires some tweaking.
#$ npm install slack keep presence android#
My feelings towards SmartThings presence sensing are well documented and I think the fact that MANY solutions exist – WRT-based, a separate Android app, Life360, SharpTools and the like, tells me that I’m not the only one that’s not entirely happy with the reliability issues that have plagued SmartThings since the beginning. I could use that as an opportunity to better document the steps.
If there are folks that are interested I could create a slack team (I am on slack all the time) for communications and help someone through the process. And I’d be happy to try to automate some of it (as a result of documenting all the specific steps). So, in this case I just give that person the tracker and they have it on their - I wasn’t sure how much detail to put into the docs (I did much of the work over a year ago… so…) and I wasn’t sure if anyone would really be interested. The BT trackers often can last a year or two before requiring a new battery. And the regular ST presence sensor just went through batteries too quickly to be useful. The problem I was trying to solve with all this, was we have a pet sitter that comes to our house when we are on vacation. The sensor work is not a lot, so in my case I have one of my sensors running MQTT and the other node-red flows.
