lastactive and remote desktop question
Hi from the newb.
I use last active as part of monitoring locations. I've found that when using remote desktop, which I do often, the last active triggers as if I was actually at the machine. I get why this happens. The question is if there is a reasonable work around that anyone has come up with to monitor if a human is actually at the station? Monitor keystrokes or mouse movement??
TIA

maybe you can use this to have a sensor in HA that is true when RDP session is active and when not?

hm, I'd need to do a bit of googling but I think all RDP inputs are treated as a normal inputs
there was however a way to know if the user session was an RDP one but I can't recall what it was
oh
the LastSystemState sensor
should give the "RemoteConnect" and "RemoteDisconnect" values among others
