I haven't tried this method. For me relying on Bluetooth presence feels buggy. I'm in a household with multiple persons also without watches. Mine is charging on ground floor as well so it wouldn't work for me.

There are some presence options you could consider like Zigbee motion sensors (cats included), cameras with local person detection or all in combination with Bluetooth.

It's whatever would work for you!
