Is there a way to send a message in Homey Pro (2023) when e.g. I am approaching home with location service active on mobile phone? I can only find a solution where you have to activate the “Home/Away” switch. Homey Pro (Early 2023) v10.0.8 ---

Homey Smartphone App → Homepage → Timeline … → Presence → Enable Push-Notifications Then you will receive automatically a notification like “Bjorn came home”. If you want to have a notification with a custom text, then you need to create a flow: _ **When…** _ – Bjorn came home _ **Then…** _ – Push notification “Your message” (or Timeline notification “Your message”) ---

Works for me. Is it possible your location services on your phone are misconfigured? ---

For your use case there I would look at macrodroid (if you use Android) and webhooks with geofencing ---

@Bjorn_Are_Andreassen are you using Android or iOS? I had similar issues with iOS 17 - now with 17.1 it works like a charm again ---

As Shawn already said, please check the settings on the iPhone. The setting for _ **Location** _ must be set to _ **always** _. And I have all other settings enabled. Also check your address within in the Homey Smartphone App (More → Settings Location). And the _ **Home/Away** _ detection is enabled you wrote already, right? As Sven mentioned, some iOS users are experiencing this issue current. This was confirmed from Athom support yesterday. ---

It is on. " And the _ **Home/Away** _ detection is enabled you wrote already, right?" Yes.
