Can I get a Phone location within my house?

To elaborate on Mark’s solution:

  • each phone has Tasker installed
  • a Tasker profile to trigger when
    • the phone is located at your home (wifi within range)
    • it is around bed time
    • phone is on the charger
  • the entry task will issue a command to an OH Item through the REST API to turn on a “Julian_Phone_Charging” Item
  • the exit task will issue a command to that same Item to turn it OFF when any of the above conditions are no longer met

On the OH side you create an Item for each phone to indicate when it is charging or not and have a cron triggered or Time of Day triggered Rule to check if all the phones are charging and if not alert as appropriate.

See:

Tasker has the ability to export a Task as an APK and install it on another phone, so you could potentially only install Tasker on your phone and export an APK to add this task to everyone else’s phone. Though I’ve never done so so I don’t know if there is some limitation that would get in the way in this use case.
