In my previous post about presence detection<\/a>, I showed how you can combine multiple device trackers into one highly accurate Bayesian sensor.<\/p>\n

In Home Assistant, this new binary_sensor<\/em> that I created is either on<\/strong> or off<\/strong>. It would be a little nicer if it were a device_tracker<\/em>\u00a0entity instead that was either home<\/strong> or not home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With Node-Red that’s easy enough, but what if we take it a step further and create our own custom device_tracker<\/em> based on a different set of rules altogether?<\/p>\n
