Hello everybody… I am lokking for a way to change my home settings … My problem is that i want to change the GPS range… Right now my homey registration my iphone coming home or leaving when I am about 300 Meters from home… I would like to set i up to 10-20 meters - but I cant find anywhere to do…

maybe you can do work around, such as plant some iBeacons tags within 10-20m, when your iphone detect the signal (broadcast) from the tags, you iphone can send a webhook to Homey to start your flow. Check out this Geofency for iPhone - Mobile Time Tracking Geofency - Location-based T…

With the Build-In function a change of the detection radius is not possible as far as I know. Many users use additional geofence apps on their smartphones, partly because the build-in detection is (was?) not reliable. With the app Owntracks you can define the radius yourself. You can find an instr…

Use Owntracks App in Homey it works great. You can create Geofences for free and any amount you want and you can use iBeacons or BLE beacons. [owntracks]

@Rocodamelshekima @ChrisBoer @DirkG thanks for sharing :smiley: it good that you have shared different ibeacon apps and each has its pros and cons :+1:

I’m trying to do exactly what you seem to have setup, monitor room presence, for some reason all my icons in Owntracks are orange (connected) while in your screenshot they are blue (disconnected). Did you play around with the signal strength within the beacons themselves? (and what beacons did you u…

You should use the -1 settings for BLE range in owntracks as explained on the internet in the help files. You should also add a Major and Minor for the BLE devices. Then you can place them on your map so they also get the correct location. The proximity you can setup with the BLE configurator of …

Currently have the range set to -1, but still it connect to multiple beacons. Currently using some ESP32’s for this setup, shareing the same UUID and major, Mionr is different for every room. Was hoping i could read the proximity within owntracks and create Homey flows based on the closest device.

You can, but you need to use owntracks together with an MQTT server/service which can then be translated within Homey to any flow.

I have the MQTT setup already, my phone connects to multiple esp32’s which are my iBeacons, how would i make flows in Homey to calculate the one closest then?
