How do you see the built in presence devices other than using the Classic app? Are they suppressed in NewApp?

This describes how to create a simulated presence sensor that minics your real one, so that it shows up in the new app (and has history).

How do I know who’s is at home and who’s away?

Here’s how I just worked around this misfeature of the new app. It turns out that the Simulated Presence Sensor (SPS) device does show up in the new app. Only the Mobile Presence device is hidden. For nearly 5 years I’ve been using the Everyone’s Presense to set a SPS called Anyone Home to Present if, well, any of us are home. And that SPS device shows up in the new app! I added another one just for me and now my presence shows up in the new app. [image] First, create the new SPS device using the IDE: To add the SPS, open the IDE (account.smartthings.com), go to My Devices, click “+ New Device”. Give it an appropriate name (“John Doe SimPresence”). Give it a unique Device Net Id (I used “sim-presence-3”, since I already had 2 others). Set the Type to “Simulated Presence Sensor”…
