Changing the status of an phone presence sensor manually

[JDRoberts]

@Pagemakers

The old MUCH MUCH better version of SmartThings allowed a phone for presence. Now it has to be done with simulated presence sensors.

In the old version it was 100% rock solid. Now it’s down in the 40-50%. However it’s never failed for this long - about a week on both iPhones.

What are you using to turn on the virtual presence sensor?

And…is this a groovy virtual device you created through the IDE? If so, it’s going away pretty soon, too. And it may go away for different accounts at different times.

Or is it a new edge driver virtual presence sensor created recently? Like the following:

[ST Edge] vEdge Creator: a virtual device generator for end users

If it’s an old one, you might as well go ahead and replace it now with the edge driver, you’ll need to do it eventually.
