MMM Home presence

This module pings configurable IP addresses and checks their reachability. This way you can check if certain devices are connected to your local network and draw a conclusion about their owners being at home or outside.

You should setup fixed IP addresses for the devices you want to monitor. This can be done in your router settings.
