**An IOS presence app working with webhooks.** Found an IOS presence app in the app-store working with webhooks or GET requests. So you can use the build-in logic cards in Homey for receiving a webhook or the Better Logic app for receiving a GET request. Go with your IOS device to [this link](https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/locative/id725198453) and download the app. **Setting a geofence** When you first downloaded the app the geofences will be empty. Click the + sign on the top right to add a geofence. ![Geo](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/9/9e3447d116f186af54c624fdca20bb1a6f97ebf4.png) **Setting the url** When the geofence is added you can also add the GET url for the webhook at the “Trigger on Arrival”. The url for the webhook will look like this: `https://Homey-cloud-ID.connect.athom.com/api/manager/logic/webhook/event?tag=tag` In this example i used “locative” as event and “rocohome” as tag. The url should look like this then: `https://Homey-cloud-ID.connect.athom.com/api/manager/logic/webhook/locative?tag=rocohome` Your Homey Cloud ID can be found [here](http://developer.athom.com/tools/system). We can also fill in an url for “Trigger on Departure” ofc, works the same way but with a different tag. ![url](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/0/0dc7b08a8d93c917c48c6edbdc483fb304507fe3.jpeg) **Making some flows** Now it’s time to make some flows to do something with the webhooks we get. I’ll explain 1 flow, rest should be doable me guess. **The WHEN part** Flow starts with a logic card (build-in in Homey) and we choose “A webhook has been recieved”. ![webhook1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/f/fa817cd1a952dda09396c4e60a82a507f8bad843.png) With event we fill in the event we are triggering on, in my case this is “locative” ![webhook2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/2/2b661b8f6ab0dae17fa5d4d8e677b435696e58b2.png) **The AND part** For the AND part we pick a logic card again and choose “contains”. ![chrome_2021-04-08_17-21-30](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/3/f39b6bc1906a38bb5e06289612acf410302cad0e.png) After that we click the tag thingie with the ? in it and we choose the “tag” tag on the top where it says “This flow” . ![chrome_2021-04-08_17-24-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/d/dd255cbe0e6fd6e19b26d74715321aeaa43266b9.png) For the txt from that tag we choose what we filled in in the IOS app. In my case this is “rocohome” ![chrome_2021-04-08_17-24-34](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/4/d4967560cdbd267420e5446b5fff2a1aea2791be.png) **The THEN part** For this part you can choose whatever you like ofcourse. Hope you enjoy using this app and please let us know your findings in this topic. ---

Great @Rocodamelshekima, looking forward to play with this. However the urls are wrong, the “&tag=” should be “?tag=” 😉 ---

On a lazy sunday I will give this a go. Hope this will make presence detection better. At this moment presence detection is not as accurate as I want(tried homey, nest and fing presence). Only slight problem is I don’t know nothing about webhooks and GET requests😄. Thx;-) ---

Tested this on my way home today and seems to work very well. Problem is, almost all location solutions work initially and stop working after a little while. So too early to tell if this will be more reliable or not. @Rocodamelshekima Have you been using this solution for a while already, i.e. are you able to comment on reliability of a longer period? ---

Should the cloud id in the locative app be with or without the ” marks? Like ”xxxxxxx” ---

Do “we” think this way will work for a while? > PLEASE NOTE: As announced in [https://blog.locative.io/bye-everyone-df01871fe949](https://blog.locative.io/bye-everyone-df01871fe949) I’ve shut down [my.locative.io](http://my.locative.io) effectively 14th of May 2017. This app will remain in the App Store for reference reasons but won’t ben further supported. Please look at [Locative · GitHub](https://github.com/LocativeHQ) for its Source Code. Seem to be a good and easy way to do presence though. ---

> [@Rocodamelshekima](#): > > n this example i used “locative” as event and “rocohome” as tag. Just curious, how did you find “locative” in the app I don’t fiend anything pointing to that. Is that some kind off standard search string? I did manage, quit easely, your tutorial. So it is “Monkey proof”.😉 ---

No, you use the term locative. How do you know that? ---

Still confused. The app is called Locative so i used it in the examples. U can replace locative in the above examples with whatever u like as long as u use the same replacements in the flows. U send a webhook in the locative IOS app with /locative?tag=tag. Can also be /amstel?tag=tag as long as u use the same eventname in the Homey flows. > [@Ikon](#): > > Should the cloud id in the locative app be with or without the ” marks? > Like ”xxxxxxx” Cloud ID is without the quote marks. ---

In the settings part there is an option to test the webhook. Can u test that to rule some things out? ---
