The fob teleporting and returning is rare for some people, but frequent for others. Mine leaves many times a day, due to local WiFi interference. I spent months working with support, no fix.
So I instituted an occupancy approach as described below. It still teleports, but it no longer triggers actions when it does.
Continuing the discussion from Smart Presence Sensor randomly "leaving" and "returning" :
Battery life is fine on my presence fob, but I still get random drop-offs with both the fob and the phone presence.
Using an idea from @DigitalM0nkey , I am changing over the way I use presence sensing for all activities. I’m now using dual devices at the geo-fence barrier, as well as a virtual presence sensor for better continuous occupancy indication.
Basically I’m trying both reduce the range and improve reliability by using two devices that will be recognized in sequence rather than both at the same time.
So this is how it will work at my house now:
Smartthings recognizes that my phone or the fob, mainly the fob , has entered the Geo fenced area. but nothing else happens yet. I do not tri…
This solves most of the examples given in this thread.
