I’d like to use my smartphone WiFi SSID to determine if I’m home or not. When I’m home the alarm (kinda, just notifications from some sensors) needs to be shut off and a light needs to be turned on. Since the sensors update can be forced at maximum 1 minute (but I’d prefer to leave it at 15 minutes to preserve battery) and since 1 minute is too much, is there a way to send an intent to HA companion app to send a sensors update? I would use Tasker to send the intent.

    You can also use the GPS tracking in the companion app. If you’re on android (I’ve had issues on IOS) and have your home zone set up rightz it’s pretty damn solid.

    I use it and have my outside lights integrated, and they’re always on when I get home at night

        On iOS you may need to allow HA to constantly track your location. I’ve done a decent amount of testing with zones and it seems to work well. I used some temp Node Red logic to send a push notification as I entered/left zones and it was pretty accurate.
