I’m actually using a Wi-Fi presence sensor, and an virtual presence sensor. It works so well, I forgot I was even using it

[OBSOLETE] ASUSWRT Wifi Presence

I have created a pretty solid wifi presence solution for when my phones connect to the wifi network, its very quick to update ST. I use this alongside the ST app, Life360 & my own Tado presence device type, i use Rule machine to flip a virtual presence sensor when any of the 4 change state, this is a first past the post setup and it works really well, before i put this in presence was really an issue. this however always triggers when all the others fail to update (regularly) but the range of this is not very far, only within the wifi range (obviously!) ive seen other solutions for DD-WRT, but these don’t work with the Newer Asus routers, RT-AC87U or Newer as the command to list mac addresses with the new 5G hardware no longer uses wl ok so the first thing i did was install the latest A…

So, my wife, myself and the car use this for presence. To avoid false presence issues, there is a setting in the app that allows me to set how long am I away before it reports away. The car connects to my wifi when I pull up, then a few minutes later after turning off it disconnects.
