Hi HE crew, can you please improve the normal geofencing system please (high accuracy is a total battery hog) ? This kind of thing below is rather frustrating as I've been home all day: 2020-09-25 01:41:44.221 pm info Derek's iPhone - GPS has arrived 2020-09-25 01:37:54.577 pm info Derek's iPhone …

Btw, the only Geofencing I've ever experienced that was 100% reliable and didnt eat your battery before lunch, was by the now defunct Skylark app - perhaps Hubitat could buy the app and code and use it to improve geofencing? [image] Reliable location sensing for smart thermostats | Skylark …

My problem occurs when the GPS decides I’m outside of the fence for no apparent reason and at the same time my phone wifi has been asleep for 5 mins or more. This didn’t happen with high ac…
