So I started from scratch and found my issue. In the Multi-User API app I never hit "Done" after I specified the device and got the URL. Once I did that it works...
Now I feel stupid...

Any recommendations on an iBeacon to use in the house for tracking coming and going? Thanks
I know it’s been a while since you asked, and you may have figured it out, but Geofency is iOS only. For Android , I strongly recommend @Johndc7 Improved Mobile Presence Hopefully this helps you, or someone looking for a similar solution.
Actually, I've moved on to OwnTracks. Some remarkable work being done by @lpakula

Which iBeacon device(s) are you using?

I don’t think he makes them anymore.
I can use a little help. I am getting the following error when testing a new device I just setup in Geofency app for Hubitat.
Here is how I have my device setup:
I tested my URL ( https://cloud.hubitat.com/api/XXXXXXXXX/apps/1168/location/Mike?access_token=XXXXXXXXX) and got this:
["Yep, this is the right URL, just put it into Geofency Web Hook, set to POST and do a test. Make sure your Geofency location name matches the device location and user (Mike) configured in the preferences"]
Here is my config for the location I am setting up.
and the webhook config too:
Any insights on what I am doing incorrectly or how I can fix this?
Shortly after making my post looking for help I figured out what my issue was. I went back into the device I created and retyped in both the location and name and hit save. When doing so, I noticed the "Current States" section for the device updated and displayed both a "region" value and a "user" value. It's strange that didn't take the first time when I created the device.
I hope this helps others who might be having the same issues I did.
I have a weird issue. I have been using geofency for a couple years now (great job BTW) without issue. I got a new phone and let the phone side app lapse for a few months. I recently updated the phone app side to get it working again. I have two devices one for me and one for my wife. Both devices work in terms of the device status, both devices show up correctly with accurate status. Logs show arrival and departures when I run the test feature phone side, no errors. However my device shows green in the device panel and will update on my dashboard, my wife's device shows grey and I get no status whatsoever in the dashboard. Any thoughts on why this occurring and how to resolve it?
Quick question. If I migrated a hub with geofence on it, do I need to set this up again? Or should it have migrated without issues to the new hub? Just wondering if I need to create new endpoints or if the old ones still work.
Your cloud URLs on the phone(s) will need updating as the URLs are hub specific.
