Add geofencing to the iPhone mobile app

Hi

I'm trying to do the same thing but can't get it to work correctly with the rule creator. We ar two people and I want to run a rule when both have left the house and not make it run if one person leave before the other one. And when one person comes home a rule runs but if the other person comes home after the first person then no rule/scene runs only door lock opens. I would love some help if it's possible. We each have an IFTTT account and a location recipe with a virtual meter each in zipabox with value1 at 1 for home and 0 for not home.

Thanks!

Hi ..

Try this, it is working for me

Guys, instead of Virtual meter use virtual sensor. This way you can use the "and" puzzne in the armaway and "or" puzzle in the disarm.

Atilla,

could you please explain something more to Variable and value 100 ???

I did create variable RESTART, what now ???

TNX.

Oh, yeah, you are not aware of the other topic. It is a little long, but it helped some of us to get more stable system...Restart variable is a variable that will notice me every time my zipabox restarts (regardless if I restart it manually or it restarts due to system shortage on flash memory. Either way when I receive the restart message i know that my zipabox is fresh and ready to work. This restart variable I have in evey rule that has some tricks, so these rules will not start if the variable is not ready. In other words when the controller is not ready.

And the stop puzzle is just there as apparently it can also make a difference to stop a rule with a puzzle at the end or to let the rule be stopped by itself.

As to the rules i attached here, they work like a charm 100% of the time.

So the tpoic is here, have a good reading.

Thanks for all your help. I changed my virtual meter to a sensor and tried to build some rules. I'm pretty new at this so it would be great if some of you see some mistakes in the screenshots below and give me some pointers :)

What I tried to accomplish in the geofence rules are:

AWAY

(rule 1)

- When both sensors read "inactive" turn off all lights, set alarm and lock door lock if time is before 5pm.

(rule 2)

- When both sensors read "inactive" keep some lights on, set alarm and lock door lock if time is after 5pm

HOME

(rule 1)

- If one of the virtual geosensors read "active" unlock door lock and disarm alarm, but only if no-one else is home. If someone is already home only unlock door lock. And if time is before 5pm

(rule 2)

- If one of the virtual geosensors read "active" turn on lights, unlock door lock and disarm alarm, but only if no-one else is home. If someone is already home only unlock door lock. And if time is after 5pm

Thanks again for helping!

Simone,

Life360 (iOS, Android & WinPhone) is pretty good at GeoFence, and they do have a channel to IFTTT. Using this channel it would be possible to trigger both on individuals and on "last family member to leave" and "first family member to get home".
