Hi Peter, I made a flow to test location but it does not work. However, Owntracks on my phone is telling me that I am at Home, but Homey not. What did I wrong? ![Test locatie](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9f22f613cfb5db46e040d92a5e141bc85b62ed1c.png) ---

You should use the THEN-card ‘Patrick is at home’ after the owntracktrigger: ![IMG_1869](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/3/9358f4f526ff19a123d9be848141e5eae79e87da.jpeg) ---

Hi, Sorry if this is a stupid question. But how do I copy the user token? I can see a string of tekst but no way to copy it. For now I used OCR to get it but I always get a 404 in the OwnTrack app. Do I do something wrong? Thanks! ---

_problem solved by using Macrodroid_ Is it somehow possible to use the coordinates from a divice in a flow? I see the coordinates in the app settings but i can not find out how to use them in a flow. ---

The coordinates don’t change, these are pre-defined geofences, and available in flows as trigger- and conditional cards, by the geofence names you defined ![Screenshot_20250830_145842_Firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/8/7825dfbc836a4c94bbcd1e1377f07b23f22f73c5.jpeg) Can you elaborate what you’d like to achieve with the actual coordinates ---

I don’t want to use geofences. I want to know where a device is. In the meantime, I’ve managed to do this with Macrodroid. It works perfectly. ---

True, Macrodroid is great. Location & Presence has no “live” GPS coordinates on board. I would appreciate it very much when you update or remove your post when you solved it yourself. Now I spent time on your question for nothing 😔🤔 Saying ‘Thanks’ is also a small effort, but much appreciated. Happy navigating. ---

Try deleting “?token=” in the url if you followed the original post instructions. So the URL looks like this: https://.connect.athom.com/api/app/nl.scanno.owntracks/events/ ---

Noticed that the “All users” wildcard in flow cards actually means any user. ![Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 7.52.41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/9/39cd978623807a08bf9c711b8e01e2d07db1d220.png) I have this flow, and that triggers for any user instead of a condition that all users has left a region. ![Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 7.54.26](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/2/2256231d7157d57314000e4860253686257a7e73.png) Then I have an actual problem. ![Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 7.56.20](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/b/db1bbeb217808494f5689c38b7986d4845723982.png) I (oh2th) am still within two fences and oh2js is with an other fence and has left the two where I am.
