Avoiding UDMobile GeoFence bounces

Featured Replies

I've been trying setup my GeoFence's to set Home/Away for each person at our new home and thought I finally got it but still having issues when Android bounces me out even though I am still inside. I neglected to save the home/away programs I had prefected at our old home before leaving everything for the new owners.

I have a 200 radius set, which I know on the small side, but I really want to know when the device is not home, and typically the bounces are way outside a large fence anyway. I've researched Android location issues and tried to improve accuracy to no avail.

The screenshot of UDMobile GeoFence log shows there was a quick bounce putting me out then right back in, to try and null these out I have it run the same program then/else so if the "out" triggers, and kicks the "else", then the "in" triggers and kicks the "then" and both have a 2 minute delay, I thought the second trigger would kill the first and keep me in? But this doesn't seem to be working.

The program is:

Occ Home Jim Small - [ID 001B][Parent 001F][Not Enabled]

If
   - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition')
 
Then
        Wait  2 minutes 
        $s.HS.Home.Small.Jim  = 1
 
Else
        Wait  2 minutes 
        $s.HS.Home.Small.Jim  = 0
 
This is called by UDMobile to set Home/Away

and the screenshot for the GeoFence setting is here which run those programs.

But after the out/in shown in the log the s.HS.Home.Small.Jim stays at 0.

I'm probably going to work on a Firewalla plugin to see if it's device connection status helps with this, but would prefer a solution with GeoFence.

Looks to me like the enter event is dropped or executed out of sequence after the exit bounce. You could add some way to trace the sequence of executing your program. Maybe the history of program executions in UD Mobile could provide a clue.
