Geofencing not working

Divvydave — Sat, 04 Aug 2018 08:52:25 GMT

Geofencing mode is kicking in, but it's not applying the home mode even though both devices show in zone.. Says disarmed. Manually changing to the mode specified in home makes cameras work. Anyone else having this?

Zones have been an issue lately with the past couple of FWs

Never worked - when i am at work Arlo thinks i am at home. If only that was the case , wishful thinking !

It knows I'm home, it's just not applying the associated mode.

They've removed geofencing. Wonder if anything to do with the outage?

I now have geofencing back. I had to remove and recreate scheduled to get them to work. I shouldn't have to do this every few weeks .

Just got the Arlo Pro 2 system and geofencing is not working at all.. Very frustrating and considering returning for a different vendor.
Has there been any progress from the developers at all?

The same problem we all are facing: Geofencing does not work correctly! It only works at will, which is only 10% of the time. It is unreliable, enough to the point that you're better off to change the modes manually when you leave home and come back home. THAT simple!

I have long ignored this Geofencing problem, I don't think it will ever get resolved, you can just search all the postings about this issue, this problem has been going on for over a year. It went from working decently to just totally bizarre. The problems I had with this were: when you set it to geofencing it just goes to unarmed, or it says armed but never records anything, aside from, it never exactly detects when your in the zone or not. I'll be honest, I said it worked decently for a while but ever since the problem with the mode tab dissapearing when that got resolved the geofencing was just totally unreliable. I don't even set mine to geofencing anymore, i just set it to scheduled and sometimes i just use the cameras to view live.

Shanes, so you work for Arlo and you are asking if this has been reported, why don't you search all the postings about geofencing problems and maybe point to us any resolution that has been done about this.
