Thanks for reporting, will look into it. One thing to note, is your phone is 3 major releases behind current and soon to be 4. We do our best to support older devices, but this and other issues might just be a result of such an old version of android.
Again, could be due to the older version of android, but never the less will look into it and see if we can reproduce it.
Do you see anything in settings Debug Info?
Themes are outside the realm of our ability to control especially considering the entire notification area in android 8+ has been changed. It is unlikely we are going to be able to resolve that issue for your phone.
Notification text is up to you, if you want to include the location name of your hub, that is up to you. The Application name is always the same and can't be changed, unfortunately.
Yeah, pretty old for sure but it's been a great phone and I'm reluctant to get rid of it for an S9 or S10. My wife has an S9 and I hate it.
Well it looks like the app sees I'm inside the geofence area but HE never seems to get notified I've entered or exited as I'm not seeing anything in the HE logs.
Fair enough. But note that in the screenshot above, the Pushover notification includes the location the notification is coming from. Not the end of the world having to enter the hub location in the notification message but I mention it because it is possible and it's the little things that make an app that much more special
Turns out we actually have one of those ancient relics, err phones on our dev team so we can test and see what's what.
As for customizing the notification, that isn't a simple undertaking, as it requires the app to handle the payload and not the OS. We chose a simple path for push notifications for now. Maybe down the road we will change, but changing means waking up the app on every notification which means a hit on battery life.
I updated to the latest minor hub release and decided to remove and reinstall the app from my wife's iPhone 6 to see if the push notification would work. It still got hung on looking for mobile devices so i couldn't tell it to create a new device but on enabling geofencing it created the mobile device and it is working for push messages.
Just a comment regarding trigger speed. Stringify used to have loads of problems with geolocation and they eventually fixed it very well (yeah, just prior to announcing their demise, RIP sigh). One thing they really nailed was that they increased their poll rate to the geolocation service when near the designated location and slowed it right down when far away. No point polling every minute if you've flown to another country. The other thing they allowed was multiple locations at different radii, so you could set an entry and exit one at different radii if you so wanted and set up multiple locations for triggering (like; when leaving work, send notification to wife with traffic and journey time evaluation in real time via Google Maps, accounting for traffic, which was very cool).
My vote is for battery life, I like the fact that the app becomes important to have and just does what it should in the background without draining the battery.
The geo fence doesn't seem that big to me what is the current minimum size? 150m?
For now, you can just move the Geofence “Pin” to be off-center from your home to move the edge of the circle to be closer to your home. This will have the effect of delaying when your garage door opens.
I would never suggest anyone trigger a door to open or door to unlock based on geofencing. Use at your own risk.
Locking doors and making sure doors are closed is a good thing, but the phone's location is never perfect and the potential for false positives or spoofed / stuck location is very high.
I have set up notifications every time my own or my wifes phone enters or leaves the geofence area. For my wife (Pixel 3a), everything works perfectly and swiftly.
For my phone though (Pixel 2 XL), background change of presence just isn't working. Right now we have been at home for about an hour, and I showed as not present until the second I opened the app. I am getting notifications though.
I have removed Hubitat from battery optimization in Android 9, and I have reinstalled the app. Do anyone has other suggestions what to try? As it is working for my wife and most others, I'm assuming the problem is in my end.
the Nokia's are good and there "stock" android.
