Months ago we were able to run the Geofencing Mode & Schedule Mode simultaneously, but are no longer able to do that. Has anyone else had this problem & fixed it?

That's done by setting either Geofencing's "Home" or "Away" to "Schedule.

Are you saying you can no longer do that?

I can choose armed, disarmed, schedule, or geofencing modes. Previously, I was able to have geofencing mode on & have a nighttime schedule running simultaneously. It no longer allows me to do that

No, that's not the way it works. Scheduling runs "under" geofencing - either Home or Away is set to "Schedule"

For example, you can set "Home" to Schedule, and "Away" to Armed. Then set up the schedule so cameras are only armed at night. Then the schedule will apply whenever you are home (arming at night, but not during the day) , but the cameras will be armed whenever you are away (no matter what time it is).

None of this has changed (assuming you still see library in your main menu).

I too cannot seem to have Scheduled and GeoFencing active at the same time. My app is an either/or situation.
a list of mutually exclusive radio buttons.

Armed
Disarmed
Schedule
Geofencing

I can only set my one camera’s mode to one.

I would like it to run on my schedule (Armed from 10:30pm-6:30am) AND utilize Geofencing during the day hours when I come and go to arm when I leave and disarm when I arrive.

Nothing in my app seems to allow this combination.

And please don’t repeat the line “it is simple as that”. Because if it were intuitive I’d have figured it out.

Geofencing supersedes the schedule. You would select Geofencing and set it up as @StephenB stated in his reply above.

Not intuitive.
