Hi, I just upgraded to 2.0 but I really miss the presence detection functionality as this controlled my alarm. Can you recommend another geofence app to use so I gain this feature again? /Søren

Hi Mikke, I also have a netgear router (orbi) and tried the homey app for presence detection, it somehow works to good…or there is something wrong in the flow. my Flow: When: device comes online And: device with mac(mac adress of my phone) is online Then: Send push ‘John’ is at home and mark at…

Is there a generic app for checking a device for those without a netgear or ubiquity router? The only device I have that can detect presence is my Nest thermostat, but a) it’s too slow in realizing someone is home and b) it does not say who is home.

But owntracks for homey has been renamed to Location and Presence :slight_smile:

For info, I use a Fingbox ( www.fing.com ) which now has IFTTT integration and using it to trigger Homey flows. I am looking at how well it works and while early days, is generally working well (still has the typical delay with my phone joining the wifi). Also gives me option of grouping users and tri…
