So I am very new to Vera coming from SmartThings and so far the transition has been good. The one thing that has just been racking my brain though is how to create a switch or trigger from our location. I am running a veraplus and have the geofence turned on but I can’t really figure out how to use it to trigger devices. I don’t want to use the 4 basic modes but I would like to have a switch or similar that turns on when I get home or near home and another for the wife.
I would like to have one scene run while she would like to have another, for instance I prefer to have the radio come on and a few lights while she prefers more lights and no music.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Current Goodies: VeraPlus, Sonos (with plugin), DSC Alarm, and too many switches and sensors to list
Hi,
Check [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,28899.0.html]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,28899.0.html[/url] for some suggestions. There are more out there too, try a search on geofence. When you have an iPhone the IPhone locator plug in gets good reviews (I have not tried).
Cheers Rene

Thanks Rene,
I was hoping to use the built in functions but it looks like the iphone locator plug in might be the way to go until the geofencing is a bit better supported directly.
