Under Consideration

Possibility to assign iPhone GPS/geolocation as trigger for scene.


E.g arriving home, trigger scene "Home"An alt. solution would be mail trigger from app.App like https://www.google.se/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=geomessage%20iphone&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fgeomessage%2Fid547035358%3Fmt%3D8&ei=LzIMUcb6JqTJ4AT7l4CQDw&usg=AFQjCNHL6oVMgUi3O619hH4_PXdJRnZrZQ&bvm=bv.41867550,d.bGESend The mail to zipabox? Subjekt as control Field for scene trigger?

Untill last thursday I thought the same about using GPS.


In my case I wanted to change the temperature when nobody is at home so the home is the right temperature when I get home. I rather use an app to change the temperature to do this (of which I think is possible, I'm on WP8 and not Android or ios so I can't test this).

For other things like light and alarm I'll have to be close at home (don't want to think about passing my home on quite some distance and never going to it and my alarm turns off) I think it is better to use a motion sensor. Or a small relais in the car but that might result in problems when specific parkinglots are occupied or when I'm on bike or on foot.


So depending on your "home"scene think it all over again I think there are other and more secure solutions.

Ideas that I have thinking of are the following:

- if e.g door lock, certain lights are On even though GPS position is "away" -> SMS sent for notification and possible action is possible.

- trigger light upon arrival to home


For alarm I agree that GPS is not sufficient.

Motionsensor?

- door lock to be notified if I forgot to lock the door.


- light to be turned on when I'm reaching my home to have the driveway up

You get notified you forgot to lock the door and I'll send you a message you also forgot your key wich is inside.
