Dale T Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hello all, I have a couple simple programs that turn lights on/off when I arrive home and leave. From reading on the Mobilinc website I understand the variable value should be 1 when I am within the geofence and 0 when I am outside of the geofence. When I am inside the geofence area the value is 1, however when I am outside the area the value (per the variables -> state page) is 2 instead of 0. I'm not sure if this is related, but the Init value shows 2 for all geofence variables. Any thoughts? Thanks Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsteonNut Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi Dale, From reading on the Mobilinc website I understand the variable value should be 1 when I am within the geofence and 0 when I am outside of the geofence. Yes, that's correct. When iOS tells MobiLinc that the iPhone has moved outside of your geofence, MobiLinc will send a "0" to the ISY for that variable. The only time a "2" is sent is for the initial value. When the ISY is rebooted, the variable's current value will be set to a 2 by the ISY's startup sequence since we can't predict the actual state of your location/geofence when the ISY reboots or loses power. To prevent programs from accidentally running, the initial value (and subsequent current value) is purposefully set to a 2 in this scenario until there's a geofence transition.
