A small device that ran on battery type that could trigger geofencing option

What would be REALLY nice is if Netgear sold a very small device that ran on a button type battery (so long life) or could be recharged via USB (like a Fitbit Flex) that could trigger the geofencing option instead of trying to overcome the difficulties in getting the apps to work well and work well with multpile phones (or work not at all if you have Windows devices you want to use as triggers).

 

Make it inexpensive enough, offer multiples for a discount and it becomes a selling point.  Put one on your key ring. Leave one in your cars. Pop it in your purse, etc.

 

Swann has a key ring device that a friend has and she reports it works well.  She has a spare that she hands to a guest and retrieves when they leave.  Could be like those round RFID tags that trigger pet doors - although I understand the technology is not the same, but that's the idea.
