Turning Exterior Lights on when I arrive home with Mobilinc Geofencing

[calberrt]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm wondering what would be the best way to write a program that integrates the geofencing technology in Mobilinc to turns on exterior lights when I arrive home.

 

I have a program that automatically turns lights on and off depending on the time of day and want the new program to act as a trigger when I arrive later than expected. 

 

Where I'm stuck is being able to trigger the program when I arrive home and not have it triggering at other points of the day.

 

I know that the trigger would have to be when the state of the variable changes (ie. enter home region area according to geofencing) but am unsure of how to write a program that would accomplish this goal

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Here are some examples:

- Initializing the geofence variable INIT value prevents an ISY or a phone reboot from triggering the program when you are at home.

- The programs called in the THEN section are disabled to prevent them from triggering independently.

- I also changed the MLHD setting to disable geofence actions when the iPhone is screen locked. Wouldn't want someone who stole/found my phone to enter my home.

Arrive

If	
	$iPhone_5_Limetree is 1
Then        
	$iPhone_5_Limetree Init To 1        
	Set Scene 'Exterior' On        
	Set Scene 'Home' On        
	Run Program 'Home - Disarm' (If)        
	Run Program 'Home - Open Garage' (If)
Else  
	- No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Leave
 

If	
	$iPhone_5_Limetree is 0
Then        
	$iPhone_5_Limetree Init To 0        
	Run Program 'Home - Arm' (If)
Else   
	- No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

IOS or android?

You could have inferred which, but for clarity iOS

I thought this most likely, but some refer to "geofencing" more generically.

oberkc, I think elvis was referring to the variable name "iPhone_5_Limetree".

[oberkc]

Yes.  That does seem more obvious now.  That is embarassing.
