Zway-Presence

This module manages presence modes. Four different presence modes are available

• home (Home during daytime)
• night (Home during nighttime)
• away (Away - both day and night)
• vacation (Prolonged absence - both day and night)

This information can then be used by other modules (eg. ConditionSwitch, EventWatcher, ThermostatControl, ...) to create smart automation rules (eg. thermostat operation modes based on presence status) Whenever presence modes are switched an event will be emitted. Day/Night can be switched either manually, or by configuring a time by which the switch should happen automatically.

Configuration

night_start, night_end

Lets you specify a time by which night mode should be activated/deactivated. automatically. Manual switching regardless of the configured time is still possible.

Events

Whenever presence mode change an event will be triggered

• presence.home
• presence.away
• presence.vacation
• presence.night
• presence.comehome (when switching from away or vacation to home or night)
• presence.leave (when switching from home or night to away or vacation)

EventWatcher can be used to catch and act upon these events.

Virtual Devices

This module creates three virtual device switches to manage modes:

• Presence: Home or away
• Vacation: Longer absence
• Day/night

Additionally the calculated presence mode is stored in each device under metrics:mode.
