This may be a very naive thought but would it be possible to create a Smart app that scanned the local wifi network in order to get the connected devices?

It’s been done … darned if I know the best search terms. Perhaps I’ll find a link…

If you have a DD-WRT (i.e., Linux Shell Router) or a spare little machine (Beagle Bone, RPi) that can query the connected MAC list of your router, you can have that send a message to a web services SmartApp in the SmartThings Cloud that updates the state of any number of Virtual Presence Devices.

Here you go (I just searched forum for DD-WRT). I don’t know if the code in the Topic is still working or most efficient, but you’ll get the idea…

[NEEDS UPDATING] Presence Detection using DD-WRT Router Script

Similar to many users, I wasn’t happy with the smartthings mobile app presence detection. I just moved back from a veralite which I had setup my router to run a script to toggle a virtual presence switch. That was a little easier to setup than with smartthings as there was already a good discussion thread to work off of. See: Micasaverde Forums To get this to work, you need: DD-WRT (possibly Tomato) based router to run the devices tracking script. Virtual Presence Toggle device for the router to interact with (with endpoint access) First, the virtual presence device is similar to others that have been posted. I set mine up with a virtual switch and a virtual presence tile/capabilities. This allows you to manually override or set the presence. See the following for the basic device cod…
