V2.4.0 Pls change "Consider Home interval (sec)" to 300 sec

[angewood]

Hi, the new GUI is great.
But I found the problem that the iphone sometimes looks "away" for 2 min.
So my question is, if it's possible to change it from 60 to 300 sec.

Thx
Markus

Hi @angewood,
Tricky to set the range, it's limited now to be easier to adjust in the GUI.
Some want faster response, others longer...

May I suggest that you move the logic to the trigger?
So, "from home to away for x time".
Reason is to me the device is not connected, even if the user only is taking out the trash :)

The limit is MAX_CONSIDER_HOME and set in const.py
Adjust to your pleasing and restart HA.

If more people need longer time we can change it in the code, for now I'm rather pleased with it.

@mudape I am having the exact same issue, 60 secs max doesn't work for my devices, I need 120 secs at least. Can't we just increase the max setting and keep the default setting at 60 seconds?

Btw, love the effort in making this integration UI based, it looks neat!!

Ok, thanks.

300 sec feels like an eternity though (and removes the slider), would 180sec (3min) be enough?

Here’s a screenshot:
3 minutes seem to work at first glance,
or we meet in the middle at 240 seconds.

Hi,
I changed the setting in MAX_CONSIDER_HOME to 240.

BUT - think the most important change was change in my router.
I use the Unifi UDM Pro SE.
And here i did some changes that my UDM send the mDNS.

Willie and all - do you have a UNIFI router and you want to know which standard-setting were changed - pls write and I will posting screenshots

Great news, happy it works better for you!

We have 4 ASUS Zen AX here.

Tips on settings for UNIFI sounds like a good addition to FAQ/troubleshooting in the readme!
Please make a PR 😃

Here some screenshots to setup UNIFI UDM PRO (based on NETWORK V 9.0.108 - think on other Dreammaschines is the same) to send / not block the mDNS-Record
