A dream I’ve had all my life has been to walk around the house and have whatever is playing following me around the house. Not hard to come up with scenarios where this would/should not work, but in an ideal world (that is between 08:00 and 17:00 on workdays when the kids are out and wife at work an…

I love this idea. You should abstract it more so it could be lights, ac temps, etc

You’re right: This could be expanded on, but personally I just need the music. Using variables/virtual devices on what you want to follow you could be a solution. Pseudo code: followSound = True followLight = False followTemp = False

Looks like Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 could be a great (and expensive :slight_smile: ) solution to this: [This Smart Home Sensor is INCREDIBLE! Aqara FP2 mmwave]

[image] mrPilloft: Have anyone done this? Can you propose the best sensors to use or just the sensors that made it work :- ) Hey, i have done this, with music and my Google Public Announcement system. But i just use normal motion sensors: when there is movement in a room (and i have put musi…

Can you share some of the setup: Sensors, flows and more? (meanwhile I’m reading this :slight_smile: ): [image] [TUTORIAL] How to make a Great Public Announcement (P.A.) System with any device! Tutorials In this topic i will explain how to make a great working public anno…

[image] mrPilloft: Can you share some of the setup: Sensors, flows and more? Well, tbh: it’s partly a big mess of normal flows still. Let me update the flows next week and turn it into an Advanced Flow, than you can import the complete flow as TEF with the device capabilities app.

I use ESPresense for my room detection, still working on the flows, but already have a basic setup that makes my music follow me. With motion sensors you can also accomplish this ofcourse, but then you only know someone is in a room and not WHO is in that room, which would make it even better if you…

Can’t wait to see Arie’s automation. I suppose you might be able to slowly increase the sound on the new speaker to the same level as the others have. The time to fade in could be anything from 0 to (think of a reasonable number). And opposite when removing a speaker. Instead of removing it, I was …

Someone whispered in my ear that using Apple Airtags would be great here as then you would also know who was lurking around. There are no direct integration with airtags, is there, and there might be other challenges as well. Is it still a possibility? [image]

Nope, find my iphone/tags are not accessible through API, although some users apparently found ways around it on Home Assistant (Never tested it, so no clue if it actually works). But that is for use outdoors, based on your original question, you want to use them indoors. I think Airtags doe send ou…
