[Solved]📍 How to fetch phone coordinates and use them to trigger automations?

[Rik_Elsenaar]

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to figure out how to fetch the coordinates from my phone and send them to Homey to trigger automations based on my location. Specifically, I’d like to start or stop flows when I arrive or leave certain areas .

Does anyone know how I can retrieve my phone’s GPS location and integrate that with Homey? Are there built-in features or apps that work best for this?

Any advice or examples of how you’ve set this up would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I use the iOS-app ‘Locative’ for this.

I did it using the following:

With tasker i made a automation that when i scan the nfc tag in my car, it fetches my location and sends it through a webhook and using HERE Gratis locatie & kaart diensten App voor Homey | Homey it calculates the driving time.

From where i will create a following flow that will automaticly start my Central Heating to heat up 30 min before i arrive. so it will be nice and warm when im home.

But thank you anyway!
