New App - Automation based on presence BROKEN

I must be missing a step somewhere. I created a simulated presence sensor, then I used the code above to synch that with my phone coming and going via webcore. But how do I use this in SmartThings automations? In the new ST app, I go to Automations, Add (+), If (add condition), Device status, but my virtual sensor isn’t there. Any ideas?

Phone as presence sensor not triggering automations in new app

Yes, this was resolved. You can use automations to set STHM status and location mode. You do not need virtual devices as mentioned above unless you are trying to manage STHM through webcore or ActionTiles. You can use virtual devices if you want to view to status of presence sensor in the device list, like it was in the Classic app. The new app does not show presence sensors in the device list.

Smartthings Presence sensors

Strange. I have used these in the old and new app and have always had 100% success for 5 years. Cell phone on the other hand, well, you know

Presence sensors and automations

I feel like Smartthings, and the presence sensors in particular, are an abandoned product now… I’ve migrated everything over to the new app on iOS. I’m the only user, but my gf and I both have presence sensors on our keys. I have 2 automations, 1 turns a bunch of stuff off when both aren’t present, and another that does the reverse if either are present. The first one works fine, everything turns off when we both leave the house. However when either of us comes home, nothing happens. [IMG_6182] In addition, when setting up new routines, I don’t have the same options as before; my old routines were using “Member location” and the presence sensor, but when I try and set up a new one, the only option in “Member Location” is to use my phone (so I use “Device Status” instead). If I try an…
