How I Setup Presence Detection in Home Assistant

There was some interest in knowing how Home Assistant knows when my family is home after my last video, so this is my attempt to provide an answer. In this video, I cover the basics of how I handle presence detection, and specifically how I track my family. But since all of that was done in the YAML, I wanted to also show how you could set up the same system using just the frontend..almost. If you are interested in how to set up a basic family presence sensor in Home Assistant, stick around because we are going to automate some boring stuff.
