Generic Presence Detection

Edit: A rewrite to take advantage of the Debounce rule template on the marketplace. This is a tutorial to show a generic and sensor independent way to do presence detection with multiple sensors and implementing anti-flapping (i.e. all sensors must be OFF for a certain amount of time before the home goes to away). Requirements One or more Switches determines whether someone is present. If one or more of these Switches is ON then someone is presumed to be present (more complex algorithms are …

Presence tutorial - my implementation

This is my third tutorial and I will like to thank @rlkoshak, @will_stewart1a and @mstormi for their valuable input and improvement suggestion. Please leave comments below of how to further improove it! I believe the term “Presence” takes on multiple levels of scale and granularity, which could be serviced by different techniques. So the first question you should ask yourself what should you use the presence for? Do you need it at all? I personally use it for 3 things: Light control, Heating a…

Defining and architecting Presence

(I will be continuing to refine this article, and your constructive criticism is elicited) I believe the term “Presence” takes on multiple levels of scale, identification, and time granularity, which could be serviced by different techniques. Presence could be a set of objects (depending on number of persons) with the attributes 'location" and “time”, with the location state attribute defined by rules that focused on the most granular location systems first per their availability. LOCATION: …
