Define the presence of a user in a scene
On the dashboard, Gladys allows you to display which users are present/absent from the house.
You can use scenes to define the presence/absence of a user.
- Either with the objective of launching the scene manually when you leave/come home (practical, but hey maybe a little restrictive, we want automation!)
- Either by automating the detection of the presence: This can be a button in the entrance, a motion detection if you are alone at home, a small Tasker that sends a message in MQTT when you are connected to the Wi-Fi of at home, a Nut: it's up to you!
Prerequisites
You must be in Gladys Assistant v4.0.3 (or older)to have this functionality.
Define the user as "present at home" in a scene
The objective of this action is to tell Gladys: "the user has been seen at home".
With this information, Gladys will be able to:
- Either emit a "return home" event if the user was away from home before that.
- Or do nothing if the user was already at home.
To do this, in a scene, you can create a "user seen at home" action:
Define user as "away from home" in a scene
The objective of this action is to tell Gladys "The user is not this house".
With this information, Gladys will be able to:
- Either send a "leaving home" event (if the user was marked as "at home" before that).
- Or do nothing if the user was not at home, or not in this house.
To do this, in a scene, you can create a "user left home" action:
