Presence sensing for different individuals

Isabella_farm

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.

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.

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
