Geofencing from multiple phones

BBQ_Dude — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 16:19:39 GMT

Before I dive in I wanted to see if anyone has tried (success/fail) using Geofencing on multiple phones. There are three of us and we often leave/arrive at different times and it would be nice if when the last one left Geofencing would arm the system.

Thanks for any feedback!

I think I found the answer further down the message list.

I do this exact situation with two (iOS) phones and it works great just as you would expect (last one out arms the system). I used the Settings > Grant Access menu to set up the second phone.

Further, I setup the Geofencing Mode with the Away Mode set to "Armed" (record and e-mail) and the Home Mode set to "Schedule" which is turn has a daytime range set to "Partially Armed" (notifications only) and nighttime range set to "Overnight Armed" (record and e-mail).

For the most part, arming the system is competely automatic using this setup and I rarely have to change anthing.
