Use SmartThings Mobile Presence within SharpTools Rules & Dashboard

I the previous video I gave instructions for creating a virtual presence switch for each family member's mobile device. These mobile device switches provide the ability to see the status of your mobile phones in the SmartThings App device list. You then may use the status of your smart phones within scenes and automatons. In a follow-up video, titled "SmartThings Automation Using Mobile Phone Presence", I demonstrated how to create an automation within the SmartThings App using these virtual presence switches. I also demonstrated how to use smart phone presence to have your voice assistant, (i.e. your Amazon Echo devices), to Announce SmartThings device status changes. The greatest benefit in adding these virtual presence switches to your SmartThings app is that it provides you the ability to use the your smart phones presence within third party apps. This video will show you how to use presence switches in SharpTools and other authorized third party apps.
