Geofencing/-tracing as "Home"-indicator
#1
Hi

I'd like to have a bit in my system for when me and/or my girlfriend is home. This will be used to enable/disable alerts on my windows/door magnets, to alert for theft etc. 

I've tried to play around with Googles API and the Traccar which was previously used in the docs, but my skills/experience is not extend enough for me to make this work. 

Can anyone lead me in the right direction of scripting this with a API or something. I have a Google Pixel phone and my girlfriend has an iPhone, so it should be able to work with both of these types of phone. 

I also tried making a bool for Google Home Assistant and use the internal Google "enter/leave location", but it is too non responsive. 
I do not care with the constant location of my and my girlfriend's phone, but just if i come home and leave home.

Thanks in advance.

You can use Wi-Fi registration table from your router as a presence indicator. Here's a solution for MikroTik routers: https://kb.logicmachine.net/integration/...k/#example

Thanks a lot.

So the easiest way will be; If I have a dumb provider-sent router, change this to a more intellect router and set it up here?

Meanwhile I find such, is there another easy workaround?
