I really hate to ask this question because this is one function that it's not acceptable for it to fail. I am currently using Geofency. It has worked seamlessly until the last few months. I'm having an odd trigger happen when less than "some distance" outside my existing fences...but only at distan…

My answer to this concern has been to use 3 geofence applications: Geofency Hubitat Apple HomeKit I have not tried any of them on its own, so can’t comment on their success rate. However, using all 3 with a combiner app has worked 100% for me on detecting absence. The detection of presence has …

When I was using Homeseer I used Locative and liked it too.
