I just switched to a Pixcel 6 pro from a samsung galaxy phone. I can’t figure out how to use my new Pixcel phone as a presence sensor. I can’t find a way to add it. I was previously able to use my Samsung phone and my wife’s iPhone to manage this task. Is there a beter way to arm/disarm home monito…

I am fairly technical. Some router configuring, basic networking skills, etc, but just getting ST to run a routine based on my phone leaving my house is kicking my butt. Am I over thinking this? I set up the routine, but even though the ST app appears to indicate that my phone (Pixcel 6) has left h…

Thanks orange and JKP Well, some troubleshooting and patience have revealed that the problem is that for some reason, my Pixcel 6 registers much slower than my Samsing Galaxy S8 used to. My wife’s iPhone till registers in less than a min after leaving the geo fence, just like the S8 used to. The …

Thanks Sakari. I’ll check that out.

On an Android phone you can use Tasker (~$3.50 US). To monitor connecting and disconnecting from your wifi as your presence triggers. It is very reliable. Then you need Tasker to relay the message to ST via SharpTools or Alexa. You need a SharpTools/Tasker plug-in (~$3.50 US) or Alexa Buttons/Task…
