multiple users (android) issue with geofencing looking for solutions

Community Playground General Discussions

Hello,
I don’t know if this was discussed before.
What are the best practices for using vera with multipe users (family members) and multiple devices.
The problem or issue is that I may be using wrong the geofencing function… and I need some clarifications.

user 1 - admin (1 phone + 1 tablet)
user 2 - advanced user (1 phone)
user 3 - advanced user (1 phone)

Scenario 1:
user 1 leave home with phone (tablet remains home logged on with the same credentials for user 1)
Vera didn’t set the scene to away… or if I will set manually to away … does’t set Home when I enter the area.
Why this is happening.

Scenario 2
user 2 is home but user 1 left the house with both tablet and phone.
Vera set the scene away when user 1 exits the geofencing independent of user 2 that is home.

Hi Stefan,

The new Android Beta app has revamped the Geofence for multiple users. See: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,112898.0.html

We will be releasing today the public version as well.

In any case, the tabled that stays into location needs to have Geofence disabled in Vera Android App, for triggering to work properly.

@Sorin, the beta still has issues when more than one controller is involved. I’ve posted that on the beta forum, some time ago, but didn’t get any feedback
