In this video, I will show you how to add your family to the new SmartThings app and create a presence sensor for each mobile phone that is connected to the new SmartThings app.
This is a highly critical step to having your smart home perform automations based on people arriving and leaving your home. This is very easy to set up once you know where to go in the New SmartThings app because it is a little bit different than the SmartThings classic app. Also, note that the present sensors that you add to the new SmartThings app will not show in your list of devices.
