| `consider_home` | 180 | Seconds to wait till marking someone as not home after not being seen. This parameter is most useful for households with Apple iOS devices that go into sleep mode while still at home to conserve battery life. iPhones will occasionally drop off the network and then re-appear. `consider_home` helps prevent false alarms in presence detection when using IP scanners such as Nmap. |

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry for Netgear device
device_tracker:
- platform: netgear
host: 192.168.1.1
username: admin
interval_seconds: 10
consider_home: 180
track_new_devices: yes
```
Multiple device trackers can be used in parallel, such as [Owntracks](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/) and [Nmap](/components/device_tracker.nmap_scanner/). The state of the device will be determined by the source that reported last.
