Hi I’ve been away for a while but can anyone please tell me where a Homey is at in regards to geofencing. How does one go about setting up a geofence and integrate it onto a flow? Thanks ---

Set your location manual in settings. For me it is working again. ---

Thanks for your reply Roy. That helps ,a little but not totally. I’ll tell you exactly what I want to accomplish with geofencing. When I or say my wife arrive within say 300 metres of home I would like the driveway lights to come on and the garage door to open. So it is the first part of the flow I can’t get. When “Glenn is 300 metres from home” is what I can’t work out. Also is it possible for Homey to tell if I am arriving home or leaving the house? Thanks for you time, Glenn ---

Hi, I can set this but don’t know how to incorporate it into a flow. Please see my latest post ---

Well I haven’t tested the build in presence but it has always been shitty and I don’t think that has changed. There are some work arounds to be found. Better precense, ifttt, perhabe ubintique
