The `salt` platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a [Salt Fiber Box](https://fiber.salt.ch/en/fiber/equipment/fiber-box) router from [Salt](https://www.salt.ch), which is an internet provider in Switzerland.

<div class='note'>
The router only allows one user session at a time. If you log into the router's web interface, the platform will stop updating until you log out.
