Hey Karl -
Hope you're well. It's been a while!
I may be overlooking something obvious as I don't see anyone posting this Q before but cannot figure out where things go wrong in this simple case:
- I use your uniFi Wifi AP plugin to detect presence, by checking the up/down state of the iPhones of myself, my wife and daughter.
For each phone, iI use these settings:
- which info to be used for status updates: "WiFi"
- pick one method: "FastDown"
All three phones are part of Group 0.
The down change however is not reliable if I'm leaving the house and the phone loses the Wifi signal as a result. The plug-in is showing the device as Up, despite it being gone. However, I cannot ping it manually (obviously) and in the uniFy control interface, the device is no longer connected.
When I manually switch off the phone's WiFi (rather than leaving the house and the phone losing the signal), the down change is always detected correctly.
Things I checked & tried:
- Reload the plugin with the device disconnected - it still shows as Up in Indigo
- Checked the device status in the uniFi GUI: it shows as disconnected there
Versions:
I use the latest (v7.26.168) version of the plugin.
Running a uniFi network with two switches (Switch 8 POE-60W & Switch and 2 AP's (1x AP-AC-Pro & 1x AP-AC-LR)
uniFi AP firmware 4.0.69.10871, Cloud Controller 5.12.35-12979-1
Any suggestions as to where to trouble-shoot next, or a better way to reliably detect that our iphones left the house?
Many thanks,
Ronald
