#hi all what do you think is the fastest

Passive home/away is Bluetooth (or WiFi)
Connected WiFi sensor of the Android app is also very fast.
Using a Zone with the #android-archived app should be fast (https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/core/location)
With Android you can also switch it to high accuracy mode to force an update every X seconds, and have that handled by an automation
hey @heavy agate when you says "Connected WiFi sensor of the Android app is also very fast." do you mean the router integration or is there something else im missing?
Do you use the Android app?
like can i make the app detect my wifi ssid faster than the router
yeah i do
SO uses iPhone though, but lets focus on me :p
Yup
i'll have to try this! ty!
i'm also looking at https://espresense.com/quick-start
i have a small handful of unused ESP32 i bought many years ago thinking "i'll find a use for these some day" :p
default:
- service: mqtt.publish
data:
topic: location/YOU_wifi
payload: 'not_home'
retain: true
will this ever override other zones that use gps?
Well, no, because you create a new device tracker
Your other device trackers are unaffected
i see, thanks! i'll try this out!
also wow
your config is laid out so well
im totally going to copy your directory structure
just tested it, wow that connection update latency is blazing compared to the unifi integration!
now i just need to figure out something for my SO (who uses iPhone)
