Exploring Smart Presence and Homey Integration

I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation, and one area that’s really piqued my interest is integrating Smart Presence with Homey. As someone who’s always on the go, having a seamless presence detection system is crucial for optimizing my home’s energy efficiency and security.

I’ve noticed that both Smart Presence and Homey have their own unique strengths, but getting them to work in harmony has been a bit of a challenge. I’ve tried setting up flows where Smart Presence detects my arrival and triggers Homey to turn on lights and adjust the thermostat, but sometimes it feels like they’re not quite in sync.

One thing I’ve found really helpful is using Homey’s flow editor to create custom automations. For instance, when I leave the house, I’ve programmed Homey to automatically close the smart blinds and set the thermostat to an energy-saving mode. It’s these little touches that make a big difference in daily convenience.

I’m also curious to hear from others who’ve successfully integrated multiple presence detection systems. How do you ensure that both Smart Presence and Homey’s built-in presence detection work together without conflicting? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

In the meantime, I’ll keep experimenting with different flows and settings. It’s all part of the learning curve, and each tweak brings me closer to the smart home of my dreams. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
