I’ve installed the Unify app, to detect whenever users are connected to any of my Unify Access Points.
Now I’ve created a zone called “unify” and moved all the _users_ from the Unify app into this zone, hoping that whenever a user is connected to a Unify Access point (shown by an explanation mark visible on the icon) the zone would be come active.
But apparently it is no using that way?
So I am wondering whether the zone being active or not, can only be determined by Motion Detection sensors.
Anybody has a clue?

Motion & contact sensors only for now.

Make a virtual sensor with virtual device and a respective flow to activate that with the unify presence?
