I have thought about different ways to do that. Both iOS and android have the ability to run scripts upon certain triggers such as joining a certain Wi-Fi network. (On iOS the Shortcuts app can do this).
I’ve thought about using that to post to the already running mqtt broker and using that to update my system.
Or I’ve thought about just snooping all the nearby Wi-Fi clients to my server, and if it detects my phone, do something similar.
Or I suppose you could turn it around, before the system decides it has an intruder, check to see if your phone is in fact at home via some method. Either scanning for it on Wi-Fi or some other way.

Hm I like that idea. That’s a bit out of my wheelhouse but worth looking into. Maybe also have two zones? A larger one to trigger the location update?
