Hey All,
I have Indigo set up to set it's mode to 'Someone is home' or 'House is Empty' depending on the presence of mine or my wife's mobile phone being in the house.
The issue we keep having is when we have visitors over who are then left alone in the house (babysitters, or left there whilst we grab a takeaway etc..) and the house then thinks that it's empty, so turns all the lights off, sets the alarm etc
I thought I had a good workaround which was to create a Visitors variable, which we set to True or False based on when people are here, however we keep forgetting to change it!
Once the visitors variable has been set to True it pings me a text every 30 minutes to remind me to change it back when they've left.
I was thinking to adjust my Home / Away checks to be something like - If house is empty and no movement has been detected for 5 minutes, or any TV is switched on, then don't set away.
Interested to hear if and how everyone else is dealing with these types of scenario?
