flsenior Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I want to use the Locative app for geo fencing but have had problems making it operate. It appears that "help" in Locative is only available via Twitter or Facebook, neither of which I use. I am wondering if anyone can possibly help me get it operational. I have followed the instructions on the wiki to establish the keys. In the Locative app I copied the trigger keys into the proper arrival and departure "post" entry points. Both the triggers were turned on. I turned on HTTP Basic Authentication and added by username and password. For my global HTTP Setting I entered URL https;//www.my.isy.io Set it as a Post, turned on Http Basic Authentication and added my username and password. As I depart and reenter the geo fence I receive the following message; POST Failure: No readable response received. I also receive the same failure notice when I run a test request from the setting page. Any help is appreciated. Quote
tmorse305 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 I have been having trouble with Locative this week, but I have been using it for months very reliably. There was an update 3.1.1 recently and I believe my trouble started after that. I just received a notification for an update 3.1.2 so I'm thinking there may have been a bug with releases so close together. I haven't confirmed that my problem is fixed as I just downloaded it a few minutes ago. You only need to populate the HTTP push section with the URL's provided by the portal, turn off basic authentication and the Global HTTP settings. They are not needed. Make sure you have 3.1.2. Quote
jtara92101 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) I haven't found Locative to be very useful. It wigs in and nearly every single day. (e.g. I am home, it decides i am not.) In any case... you need to either: - subscribe to the ISY portal - set up your router to do port-forwarding to your ISY. There are SEVERAL steps needed to do this, and has been adequately (and voluminously) covered in older posts - Set up a VPN between your phone and your home network You should NOT expose HTTP from your ISY to the Internet. It is NOT secure. Only use HTTPS or a VPN. Edited December 15, 2016 by jtara92101 Quote
flsenior Posted December 15, 2016 Author Posted December 15, 2016 Has anyone used Geofency with the ISY Portal? Is it worth the $2.99? Quote
tmorse305 Posted December 15, 2016 Posted December 15, 2016 FYI, the 3.1.2 release fixed my problem, there was a bug confirmed by Locative to me via Tweet. As I said before I've have good luck with Locative and it's free. Quote
