"There is no technical solution for this"
This isn't really true. The easiest technical solution to the problem of ISPs using your wifi data is to simply use your own WiFi router which does not send the data to them.

They can still deduce this from the traffic patterns.
They can map your home and motion with traffic patterns?
The OP was also talking about deducing presence based on connections and traffic patterns, which using your own WiFi AP isn't going to mitigate.

Good luck to them for those of us who have set up a tailscale exit node in our network and use it whenever they are 'roaming'.

So use a vpn.
With a VPN, your ISP may not know where packets are going, but they can still see packets moving. So, unless your VPN is injecting dummy data to mask all patterns (possible, but not common), your ISP is going to have a good idea if someone is home or not.
