User details for new user

Basic user info

Access restrictions

Create a selection if you want to limit access for this user to (a) specific location(s). This restriction does not apply to administrators. Select no locations to allow control and reading of anything anywhere.

Global presence

When all users have authorized methods to acknowledge presence (No one uses "Non client" bindings) you have the possibility to have a single user set the global presence state.
This means when for example this user is the last one to leave the global system can be set to users status away and vice verse when this user is the first person to enter.

Non Clients binding

Below enter a client's ip address to let PiDome try to check it's presence. This is for clients that do not log in (or no app exists yet). When presence is found it will mark the user present. This method can be unreliable because of the use of ping and mobile devices do not always respond even when WIFI is enabled. This means a client can be marked away when in fact is not. Also the client's ip address should be fixed. Use an internal network ip.

User tokens

User tokens are keycards,codes,NFC thumbs and/or other items which can identify an user. These items are used to authorize presences, or access to specific regions

This is an future functionality of the server and currently not implemented. A start has made with "Controller/Token management" and when implemented here the user bounded tokens will be listed

Mobile/Tablet based devices

You can enable GPS localization which will enable you to perform actions on distance in combination with presences (when available). Only one device should be marked to be used.

If you are on a data plan, or want to save battery life when connected to the server, enable throttling. Only important messages will then be pushed when connecting remotely. Throttling is enabled by default and is only activated when an user does not use WIFI to connect.

To show mobile devices connect them to the server and approve the connection by linking them to this user using "Audit/logs -> Connected clients" in the menu. Make sure the user exists.

Action Description GPS Throttle

GPS and personal proximity

It can be nice to have your environment be prepared for your arrival. Enable the below option and choose a macro to be ran. This macro will only be ran if everyone is marked away and you are the first one arriving. As everyone can have their personal preferences you can define a different macro per user. There is no global option yet. The macro only runs if you are marked away and have been are further away then the distance set below.
If everyone is out of their threshold bounds only the first one who is in the "range" will have the macro run. For this functionality to work you have to make sure that users are marked home/away.
