Nice one šŸ¤£ And IP based check you are performing based on Smarter Presence ? I just wonder if there is anything else, as I have Guests, Members etc. based rulesā€¦ ---

whoops i accidentally deleted previous postā€¦and cant seem to undo that. this is what it said; i have a simpl way of marking sleepmode if my PC is off (IP based), my TV is OFF (IP based), my stereo Amplifier is off (IP based), the livingroom sensor does not detect any movement AND my phone is home I must be in bedā€¦ i have a boring lifeā€¦ this can also be used to mark yourself awake and away from home since if my phone ISNā€™T home either, i must be Away and therefore also Awake ---

Iā€™m quite new to Homey. Hereā€™s what I do. When I go to bed, I say ā€˜Sleepā€™ to Siri. It puts my phone into DND mode and sets the alarms. It then triggers my Homey slaap flow (put on/off lights, sonos (timer), blinds et cetera) AND marks us as sleeping. When I snooze my alarm on my iPhone. It triggers a flow ā€˜wake upā€™. It turns on the lights slowly, plays nice waking up music. When I get up, me or my wife press the off key on one of the two hue dimmers next to our beds. It triggers another flow that turns off the light, stops the Sonos, unlocks the front door AND marks us both as awake. Iā€™m quite proud of it šŸ˜ƒ ---

Any one else been having some issues with the Withings Sleep Analyzer lately? It registers my sleep in the app on the phone, but has suddenly stopped changing my mode to Night mode in Homey. Still investigating ā€¦ ---

Maybe you can try reading these guides from Homey Cornelisse! Itā€™s written in Dutch but perhaps with translate it could help you a bit. šŸ˜‰ He offers some nice ways to register if your sleeping.

Another Person who desperately needs support for the Aqara FP1 šŸ•¶ I need it also for the bed but fir my living room couch too. šŸ˜‰ On both places Iā€™m nearly dead and not moving for longer time. Donā€™t want to be marked as ā€œNot (at) home or ā€œsleepingā€ when Iā€™m not . [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/good-way-to-detect-if-we-are-sleeping/14000.md?page=2)
