I'd like to open a new topic for any GeoFence related queries and problems.
I'm hoping it is straight forward in the UI to create GeoFences, but there are some more instructions here:
http://www.veramate.com/faqThe steps are:- In the GeoFence setting tab, hold down a location to drop a GeoFence pin
- Enter a name for the GeoFence (it can also be disabled from here should you wish to temporarily disable it)
- Press OK to save
- The GeoFence will now be selected, so you can use the slider bar that appears to change the range of the fence.
Once you have your fence created, you can choose which scene will be activated by entering edit mode for the scene:
- Hold the scene button down for 2 seconds to activate edit mode
- In the edit settings on the scene, scroll to the bottom to view the available Geo Fences
- Enable GeoFence activation, and whether it will activate on exit or entry, by using the buttons on the GeoFence map
As it uses the GPS hardware, you will notice increased battery usage. This will be continuously tweaked over the next versions to use the hardware only when necessary. There is a new setting to decrease battery usage further by losing a small amount of accuracy. Currently there may be a noticeable increase when you remain inside a GeoFence which also has an exit scene activation (tweaked further for 7.1).
[EDIT]
Tirggering scenes based on whether multiple users are in a GeoFenceI've added some more details for how to have scenes trigger only when multiple users are home, or away, for example. Since this is fairly involved, I've only add this to the FAQ section on VeraMate's website.
