Hey, thanks for that, I will give it a try when I get back home. Right now I setup to send SMS messages to my phone via gmail when devices leave or arrive home. I have been having fun playing with this, already setup my garage doors (MYq) and several wifi outlets (VeSync), although the vesync...

Thanks for your post, I have been so frustrated with the geofence in the app, sometimes it works great and other times it does nothing. I've had it working for a day and so far it has worked great and consistent. If you have any of the notify portions you can share that would be great, such as...

Finally got this working after a little research. Below is what I have in the configuration.yaml, automation.yaml and secrets.yaml files. And modifying the known_devices.yaml file to track the desired devices. Instead of changing the profile, I am changing the schedule. form Home to Away...

Thanks, you could probably tell, I am not sure what to configure or how. I was also assuming that everything is configured using the .YAML files and not using the gui's for "automation" or "integrations" etc. Maybe that is where I am going wrong. Thanks, John

Thanks.... Not sure what you mean connect remotely, I have the android app which is working fine with the exception of geofencing and am familiar with changing profiles via HTTP. I also have STUNNEL set up. Thanks, John

Thanks, Honestly I had not heard of HA until I ran across your post. I ordered the Pi and got it loaded up yesterday. I have a Linksys Router and was successful in getting HA configured for presence detection and the known_devices.yaml file created. I have edited it and set only the devices I...

Hi Richard, I am new to Home Assistant, and was hoping to get this working as an alternative to BI Geofence as it is not reliable for me either. I have tried to follow the instructions and Reddit post but am having no luck. Can you help?

The only way I can get this to work is to have the BI PC connected to Open VPN also. The BI PC will pull an IP of 172.* subnet, then make sure Listen/Bind to one selected LAN IP Only is not checked on the Web Server Tab. Then the URL to change the schedule works when the phone is connected to...

This is the Log-In Box I get, and no matter what valid credentials I use to login, it does not.

No, still does not work with no ip's in the "limit IP" field. If the ^192.168.1.* is not in there I also get the login box when attempting the URL while connected locally with WIFI and a 192.168.1.* address. I added the VPN (^172.19.13.*) address thinking it would also allow the admin...

Geofence does not work all the time, so I have been trying to get this to work with tasker. Leave Home WIFI>Connect to Open VPN Connect>Change Schedule Enter WIFI?dis-connect Open VPN Connect>Change Schedule It works successfully when connected via home wifi and without Open VPN Connect...

Thanks, I have went back and checked my settings and they are identical to yours. Works with the BI PC and IOS phone, just not my android devices.

@fenderman just curious what Android model and ver do you have it working on. I have also tried on an old Samsun S3 mini Ver 4.4.2. I have also emailed Ken. Also just tried on an old Nexus 7 Ver 4.4.4 tablet and same results.

Thanks for your help, I will send Ken an email.

I uninstalled and reinstalled one more time, still no luck. Under App Manager/Permissions it has Contacts, Location, Microphone, Phone and Storage. All on.
