Presence detection

Anyone else’s presence going nuts. For the past day it has randomly been detecting my wife’s iPhone as arriving when she’s been here.

Problems with Mobile and Life360 Presence sensors

Both my (Android) mobile Presence and Life360 (Connect) devices have been acting up over the past few days. For no known reason both will report they are away. The mobile Presence, however, tends to return in a minute or less. The Life360 (connect) however will remain away even though the actual Life 360 mobile app shows as being home. Only way I can get Life360(Connect) to return from “away” is to open the Life360 (Connect) smartapp and click the “Done” button. Immediately, it too shows as arriving at home. Here is an excerpt of my EventGhost logging these strange events 2016-06-09 15:26:05; EVENT: HTTP.ST.Cor Dikland’s Android.presence.not present [] 2016-06-09 15:26:07; EVENT: HTTP.ST.Cor Life360.presence.not present [] 2016-06-09 15:26:07; EVENT: HTTP.ST.VP-AllPresences.presen…

Recent presence glitches?

Yesterday afternoon on June 6th 2016, I noticed unusual ‘presence detection’ behavior from my iPhone. I have “Lighting Automation” rule that powers up a dehumidifer when all iPhones (2 on this account) are not present. I was at home and observed the dehumidifier power up. When I looked at the app, it indicated my presence as away. This morning (June 7th 2016), I was woken by my security alarm and lights at approx 5AM in the morning. My SmartHome Monitor is set to armed (away) state by the ‘Goodbye’ routine which gets run by lack of presence on two phones (1 phone was not present, but the other one was). I have removed Siren from SmartHome Monitor so I don’t get woken up again. Anybody else seeing this? I’ve filed a support ticket already.

@N8XD

Do you live in the western US?

I don’t. Eastern Canada

Mine’s always been spotty. Gps signals really don’t penetrate into my house well, so my device will keep on jumping in and out of the geofence set in the hub. I use a virtual switch to control presence now.

Mine has been acting up the past few days too and I’m in eastern US. My phone says it has departed my home since the 7th.

Mine’s been bad for about a week. I started a thread on it. https://community.smartthings.com/t/android-presence-sensing-not-updating-quickly/49730
