A Telegram bot offering presence detection by looking at connected devices to a Sky Hub router based router. All powered by an ESP8266 microcontroller.
To understand when your flatmates/friends/relatives just arrived at home or are leaving (and because it was fun 😁).
The Sky Hub router homepage appears as follows:
By just parsing the Hub's homepage, you can easily understand what devices are connected to the WiFi.
Specifying a list of the MAC addresses of your flatmates' smartphones, you can keep track of when your flatmates arrive at home or leave and receive a Telegram notification to inform you.
The project has been configured on Platformio (the platformio.ini file is included) with an ESP8266 (but it can easily be adapted to run on an ESP32 or a similar microcontroller supporting the Arduino framework).
To start, just rename example.h to main.h and customize the file as you prefer (the lines that you MUST change are indicated with a CHANGEME comment).
You will also need to create a Telegram bot (a guide can easily be found on Google) and copy-paste its BOT_TOKEN in main.h. Your CHAT_ID can also be easily obtained searching a guide on Google.
The library is heavily inspired by the Home Assistant's Sky Hub component.
