AppDaemon Home Assistant People Tracking Sensor

People Tracking Sesnor app for AppDaemon.

Creates a sensor that tracks the number of people at home. Also creates gramatically correct lists of formated names at home.

The sensor contains the following information:

• Number of people at home, including guests.
• A list of people at home, sorted by first name. Guests are always last. e.g. A, B, and guests
• Removes plural letters from device tracker names. e.g. Petro's iPhone will be reduced to Petro.
• A gramatically correct string using the conjunction 'and' e.g. A, B, and C
• A gramatically correct string using the conjunction 'or'. e.g. A, B, or C

Installation

Download the people_tracker directory from inside the apps directory here to your local apps directory, then add the configuration to enable the hacs module.
