Smart Home Junkie | Switch Based On Presence In Home Assistant - Tutorial @SmartHomeJunkie | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
This Home Assistant tutorial shows you how you can set up presence detection using groups and how you can detect if someone enters or leaves the house. Based on the presence of people in the house, you can switch lights, turn on the heating, and do many more exciting things. I am explaining the concept and demonstrating how you can set it up yourself in this step-by-step tutorial.
📓Note: You can also use the person entities instead of using the device_tracker entities as shown in the video in case you have multiple device trackers per person.
