Hello,
I have tried to understand the documentation around automations, but there is something that I can’t understand how to do…
I am setting up an automation where I get a warning if my front door is opened while I am away.
- The trigger is when a door sensor is in the state Open.
- The condition is connected to the NMAP state of my phone. The options I have is Home, Away, Unknown and Unavailable.
- The action is set to notify my phone.
The issue I have is that if I choose the state ‘Away’ in the condition setting it works for a while, but then after a while being away that state changes to Unavailable - and the consequence is that I don’t get the notification.
But if I set the condition to Unavailable in the condition, the notification doesn’t work in the time span where the phone is in the state Away.
I can see that when I choose a trigger I have the option to chose the state either ‘from’ or ‘to’ a specific state, and that would work since I could choose ‘from Home’ to cover both scenarios. But when setting a condition I don’t have the choice to set ‘from state’ or ‘to state’.
How could I get around this problem?
I would like to mention that I use the NMAP integration because other methods don’t work for me since the GPS and other phone information seem to be extremely unreliable when updating HA. I have tried both geolocation with GPS and various WiFi related settings.
Thank you!
