Presence sensing for different individuals

Isabella_farm — Sat, 20 Aug 2022 23:47:37 GMT

Hi, been search all over the place but could not find any specific answer am looking for. I’ve enabled presence sensing in my Google home and for a few different phones(all iOS) but don’t seem to be able to configure specific automation for different individuals. Like when A is home room A lights will turn on. When B is home, light B and C to be turned on. Or when they are away, the respective light will turned off. Any idea how can I set that up? Right now, all the lights that has been set by A and B turns on irregardless who comes home.

To my knowledge, that's not possible unfortunately. These are the two triggers for home & away routines:

When the first person comes home
When everyone’s away

That’s really a shame to not able to have specific presence sensing. Many thanks for the answer. Hopefully there is a way in the future.
