presence detenction with smartphone

[HarryT]

Hi al

I am not sure which is the right place to ask my question so I start here.

At the moment I use a Fritzbox 7490 and detect the presence of persons by detecting the presence of there smartphone. This works reasonable, althought android 6 seems to have long sleep periods so the fritzbox thinks people are gone sometimes.

As AVM makes the use of fhem on the fritzbox harder I plan to move to another platform, but can't find a good why to detect the persons in the home. The Presence module used with ping gives a result, but the smartphones often don't answer a ping (because they sleep) and that results in an absence.

Has anybody solved this issue already? Any ideas?

I was reading a lot on the forum, but couldn't find any solutiion for this.

Hi,

from any system in the network you could use the FRITZBOX Modul to get informations from your Box remotely. Also Presence auf LAN/WLAN Devices.

Unfortunately some smartphone sleep to deep sometimes - you will not be happy with detection of presence on behalf of WLAN.

I prefer detection with Bluetooth, it works perfect to me. 2 Sensors in the Area of 10 x 10 meters and two floors.

Thanks for you answer Otto

The fritzbox works also if fhem is not running on a fritzbox? Hmm I have to study this again. A fritzbox with the standard software as router is sufficient?

I indeed was also thinking about bluetooth. At the moment I was not able to get bluetooth on the fritzbox working. I will test it on other hardware.

Thanks for your reaction.

Hi,

of course, the FHEM ist running on a box like raspberry or something else and the FRITZBOX Modul from FHEM request all informations from the Fritzbox remotely over TR064 protocol. The Fritzbox himself ist running standard Firmware from AVM.

Bluetooth detection ist made trough the build in BT Modul from Raspberry 3 or a separate BT Stick on any other Hardware. There is also a small remote detection deamon for any linux or Windows box available.
