Enable Geofencing to not engage cameras while I am at home UNLESS my phone is charging

  While I love the Geo Fencing Mode it did me absolutely no favors while I was home and 3 guys broke into my place while I was showering and came downstairs and scared the crap out of them.  What I’d really like to see is a option to enable geo fencing to not engage cameras while I am home UNLESS my phone is charging.  Whenever I nap, go to bed shower etc I put my iPhone on its charger pad.  If there was a way to engage the cameras when it detects the phone is charging .....while I am home without having to turn on and off the cameras before I go to bed would be a great feature.     Thanks!

I love geofencing too!  I would like to have the option to have my driveway camera always armed so I'm alerted when someone pulls up to my house even when I'm home.  I already have a schedule set for night time.  Even when I'm home, my cameras are armed and I'm notified of activity.

You can do this now, it's just a matter of setting up the appropriate "home" mode.
