Hello, Some flows are only activated if all members of the family are out. For that, I use the geofencing functionality of the IFTTT app (it updates a variable) To be honest, it is not always reliable. With Homey, would it be possible to do geofencing with Bluetooth ? Other potential solution : Do you know if a z-wave badge could be detected when it is at home? I don’t want a badge that requires an action from the user. Thank you Chris ---

Hi Chris, Yes you can use that with Owntracks or use Owntracks Geofences with Homey, this really works great. I have BT Beacons which I use in combination with Owntracks to open my garage, open my gate, heat up my car, put on the radio when I come down in the morning. Etc. etc. ---
