Hello all,

I have been using the Home/Away button of my NEST thermostat in order to trigger a home state and an away state for my BLI. Unfortunatly this seems no to be working as it used to and as a result the home/away state does not change. Do you have any idea of any other way to substitue this "event" with another? I have several motion sensors but I also have a dog so this not a relible solution. I thought about using my NUKI locks but it will not work since I lock my doors when I go to sleep. As a result the system will think I am away from home although I will be sleeping in my bed!🙂

Philips Hue might do the trick.

let a lamp switch on/off when you arrive or leave; use this as trigger.

It is a very clever idea but I am though the process swapping my hue lamps with Fibaro switches....but I will definetly give it a try....maybe Fibaro can do something similar. Thaks a lot Carolpa!!!!🤒
