Been having a issue with mobile presence sensors no longer working with 3 different phones. I’m using webcore as well as a basic automation, under ide, I’m using a device handler by rtorchia : Virtual Presence Sensor. All 3 mobile devices are online as well as the 3 virtual switchs. This setup ha…

Currently my virtual switch aren’t showing the correct presence and from what I gather the mobile phones are not updating it according to the polling of mobiles shown in ide. I have now added a virtual edge presence switch using the edge driver(virtual driver V2) and using a routine to change it de…

No such luck what so ever, presence on mobile either fails to update or updates 30 minutes later. Could this be a sign of hub failure? Over the last few weeks, the hub had to be powered off/on due to non functioning devices.

The funny thing, this setup has been reliable for almost 2 years, with a few hiccups every now and again when mobile batteries run low. I’ve been using the presence to automatically shutdown the house and active an alarm all through smartthings and a bit of webcore, so I don’t understand why it’s n…

If you are able to see the presence events on the mobile presence device via the IDE at all, and some users have reported that they never see events there, then I find that a reliable indication of activity. I use Android phones and I find you do have to be increasingly proactive with your settings…

It doesn’t often say it’s current state unless it’s changed in the last few minutes, what I check on is it’s last activity, as when is it was last polled. As for setting, I’ve already added the battery optimisation to not optimised for smartthings, maps and location and under the app permission all…

Still no luck with this. Even reset my hub on the advice of Samsung. Some days it’ll work, other days it’ll poll 30 minutes to 3 hours later. Location history on the phone indicates the actual location side of things is working perfectly for the phone. So it’s something with smartthings and mobi…

For Android, you can consider SharpTools and Tasker as an alternative (see @JDRoberts link below) I do wish Support would stop asking users to reset their hubs :frowning:
