AnybodyHome and NobodyHome about homebridge-hue HOT 5 CLOSED

Are you referring to the geofence occupancy sensor? If so you will need to use something like Elgato Eve to create a new rule for this. I have just tested this with a motion sensor turning on a light when it is "clear" (rather than "motion") and that worked OK. The rule in the Home app looks a bit weird but it works fine.

As a footnote is that the default name for your occupancy sensor created by the Hue app itself? Mine was called HomeAway by default but I have also had one called "iPhone" created as well.

Hi @adekka
As @jaytay79 indicates, HomeKit supports this, but the iOS 10 Home app is rather limited (see Caveats in the README) and doesn't support all HomeKit capabilities. In particular it only supports motion or occupancy sensors detecting something.

@jaytay79 it works fine for coming home. I can't get it to work when leaving home. I also renamed it, but it was something like PDXHomeAway

@ebaauw :( guess we'll have to wait then. Would be great if the lux variable could be used..

@adekka instead of waiting for Apple to enhance the iOS Home app, you could try another HomeKit app. Both apps I mention in the README support triggers on motion or occupancy sensor showing clear or away, as well as triggers on light level or temperature.
