Editing simulated presence sensor

[jlv]

You should just add a simulated presence sensor, rather than a switch. It’s an existing simulated device - no DTH needed. The nice thing about the simulated presence sensor is that it does show up in the app as a presence device, and you can include it in automations.

Here’s a trivial way to link one to the real thing.

How do I know who’s is at home and who’s away?

Here’s how I just worked around this misfeature of the new app. It turns out that the Simulated Presence Sensor (SPS) device does show up in the new app. Only the Mobile Presence device is hidden. For nearly 5 years I’ve been using the Everyone’s Presense to set a SPS called Anyone Home to Present if, well, any of us are home. And that SPS device shows up in the new app! I added another one just for me and now my presence shows up in the new app. [image] First, create the new SPS device using the IDE: To add the SPS, open the IDE (account.smartthings.com), go to My Devices, click “+ New Device”. Give it an appropriate name (“John Doe SimPresence”). Give it a unique Device Net Id (I used “sim-presence-3”, since I already had 2 others). Set the Type to “Simulated Presence Sensor”…
