It would be very helpful, to define multiple geofences (position and radius) and start flows depending on auser enters or leaves one.
For example [User leaves geofence “work”] → [Set temperature to 21]

I’m using the iOs app ‘Locative’ for this.
When entering or leaving a location the app can send a webhook.
the webhook contains a flowname and a tag.
The big downside here, using Locative, is needing an additional app, having to explain to the family why they need another app etc.
I believe you can also do this using the standard “Shortcuts” app on iOS.
I think that would also require setting something up on another users device, that’s what I’d like to avoid.
I tried that. It’s been a while ago, but think it always asked for confirmation.
yes please, this feature is really needed
And yes, I have been trying to set it up using other methoids, none have worked properly so far. It is just a PITA and waste of time having to deal with it, would be a lot easier for many people if it was just in the Homey App
Yes although there are several alternatives, it would be nice to have this integrated in Homey. We’ve got the Homey app on our phone(s) already, no need to install additional apps to get this geofencing to work.
Would be nice if it could also have an ETA. For example when driving home you could use the ETA to preheat the living room.
