<p>Presence detection detects if people are home, an important input for automation. The most important
|
|
piece of information is to know if anyone is home. But knowing who is home or where they are will open
|
|
a whole range of other automation options:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Send me a notification when the kid arrives at school</li>
|
|
<li>Turn on AC when I leave work</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
|
|
|
<p>The device tracker component offers presence detection for Home Assistant. It supports two different
|
|
methods for presence detection: scan for connected devices on the local network and connect to third
|
|
party service.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Scanning for connected devices is easy to setup. See the instructions for our <a href="/components/#presence">supported routers</a>
|
|
or <a href="/components/device_tracker.nmap_scanner.html">scan the network using nmap</a>. This approach does have its limitations. It will only be able
|
|
to detect if a device is home. It also struggles with iPhones because they disconnect from the WiFi if
|
|
idle, marking them as not home while they are not.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Home Assistant currently supports one third party service for presence detection: <a href="http://www.owntracks.org">OwnTracks</a>.
|
|
OwnTracks is an app that you install on your iPhone or Android phone that allows you to push the location
|
|
of your device to Home Assistant using an MQTT broker. An MQTT broker is an Internet of Things communication
|
|
platform that you can <a href="/components/mqtt.html#run-your-own">freely host yourself</a> or get <a href="/components/mqtt.html#run-your-own">a private instance for free in the cloud</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
OwnTracks communicates directly with your MQTT broker, no data will pass through their servers.
|
|
</p>

|

<h4><a class='title-link' name='zones' href='#zones'></a> Zones</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><img src='/images/screenshots/badges-zone.png' style='float: right; margin-left: 8px; height: 100px;'>
|
|
Home Assistant will know about the location for your device if you are using OwnTracks. By <a href="/components/zone.html">setting up
|
|
zones</a> you will be able to add names to locations of your devices. This way you can easily
|
|
spot on the state page where the people in your house are and use it as <a href="/components/automation.html#zone-trigger">triggers</a> and
|
|
<a href="/components/automation.html#zone-condition">conditions</a> for automation.</p>
