Ping
Home Assistant offers a binary sensor integration that allows a ping to be sent to any device on your network.
This provides us with a really great way to monitor the presence of a particular device on our network.
The most obvious way we could use this integration is to sense if a person is home by pinging their mobile phone or smart watch. If you are away and your device is not connected to your network, Home Assistant knows that you are away.
