I’d like to use my smartphone WiFi SSID to determine if I’m home or not. When I’m home the alarm (kinda, just notifications from some sensors) needs to be shut off and a light needs to be turned on. Since the sensors update can be forced at maximum 1 minute (but I’d prefer to leave it at 15 minutes to preserve battery) and since 1 minute is too much, is there a way to send an intent to HA companion app to send a sensors update? I would use Tasker to send the intent.

    Thanks for the idea, that’s what I’ve been using with Node Red. Since I’ve discovered that the WiFi SSID is updated instantly, for me is better and faster to use that to fire an automation.
