| title | Can I automate events on the presence of family members? |
|---|
|
Yes. You can trigger scenes or other events on the presence of members in a home. How it works: The Presence function works with Wi-Fi, not GPS. Meaning, when your phone is on the same network as your Animus Heart it will see you as “at home”.
Important! Members need to have a phone connected to them. Otherwise the Presence-function won’t work. Enter the Members page from Settings → Members. |
