Hi!

I'm discovering HA. I want to have specific behavior when no one is home. How do you signal no one is home? I cannot do it via phone because we put our phone in airplane mode during night plus sometimes we have friends home I don't want to register everyone's phone.

I need a basic button to say OK everyone is out.

Today I have a IKEA Dirigera setup + Google Nest.

I have a couple of unused ESP8266 laying around...

Any suggestion?
