Hello, could anybody suggest a smartapp that I could program my sensors and light to go on or off when my phone connects to the network or if I am a certain distance of my home ? Thank you all for the excellent community we have here
You could take a look at this thread to see if WiFi presence would work for you.
Then just use a routine triggered by presence to perform the actions you want.
I have created a pretty solid wifi presence solution for when my phones connect to the wifi network, its very quick to update ST.
I use this alongside the ST app, Life360 & my own Tado presence device type, i use Rule machine to flip a virtual presence sensor when any of the 4 change state, this is a first past the post setup and it works really well, before i put this in presence was really an issue. this however always triggers when all the others fail to update (regularly) but the range of this is not very far, only within the wifi range (obviously!)
ive seen other solutions for DD-WRT, but these don’t work with the Newer Asus routers, RT-AC87U or Newer as the command to list mac addresses with the new 5G hardware no longer uses wl
ok so the first thing i did was install the latest A…
There may be other threads on using WiFi for presence. Use the forum search, the quick-browse lists, or check the community wiki.

Thanks, i will give it a try !!!
Did you try to setup that with the routine “Goodbye” and “I’m back” ?
Once you setup your things in these routines, then the geofence does the trick.
