Change Presence Sensor State description

Is it possible to change the state description. Instead of Present and Not Present, I’d like Home and Away.

I can’t seem to find anything on the forum.

Hi @Stephane, present and not present is the state of the Presence sensor, and cannot be changed in the display of the presence tile. However, you can create a String variable, and update this variable’s value based on the presence sensor’s status in Rule Engine, and add this variable as a Variable Tile in the dashboard. (See below for example.)

And you may want to set this variable tile’s security option to “View Only”, so it won’t do anything when tapped.

Thanks @James, I’ll give that a go.
