Why do you mark him as home i the “then” column? That has already been done, otherwise the flow would not run at all… ---

When Homey “sees” that u are coming home there is no need to tell Homey u are home, she knows. So in the THEN colom u could do something like " Say hello" or turn some lights on. ---

So basically delete this flow and let homey do it by herself? I dont need to set any flow for it? ---

That will be correct! U can use it in the AND colom for flows like WHEN something AND Oren is at home THEN something. When u click ur avatar in the mobile app u can see the status. ---

I use Smart presence app to mark me as home or away, instead of just using location based from my phone, it is not very reliable, in my case at least. With smart presence when i connect to my home wifi it marks me as home when i leave it marks me as away, and you can set this up not just for you but for several users or guest’s… Have a look 🙂 ---

In the when part you can not select the app. On devices page You’ve to add a device like you would add a smart lamp as an example, click on “+” select smart presence/ smartphone, then set your IP and the away delay. ( This is the time it will take to mark you as “away” after disconnected from your WiFi. ![Screenshot_2020-08-20-21-37-56-977_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/f/4f25d75f7f368582f74df5c7a01e2abffaaa805a.jpeg) After you’ve set this is time to crate your flow that should look like this.

You welcome. Yes that should work, now you have to create another one for when you leave. Then you can test it by just turning your WiFi off, wait until the time you’ve set on the away delay passed, and see if you are marked as away, then turn WiFi on, and you should be marked as home in a few seconds 🙂 ---
