Hi,

For my personal phone (admin) the presence detection is working correctly.  
For another phone that has access to Homey the presence detection is not working correctly. It only detects when the phone leaves the home (push message).  
When the phones comes back home nothing happens, the phones presence stays on 'away, until I open the Homey app on the phone itself, then it’s presence status changes back to home.  
Is this a bug, or something else?

Regards,  
.

Presence is still not working correctly via Homey!! 😡  
Found work around via IFTTT. Setup is very simple!!
