Just upgraded to new latest app Sept 24 because geofencing started not to work. Now I find that the whole app has changed. 

 

Geofencing used be able to be set by each base station but it seems this is no longer the case. I have a home and holiday house - both with different base stations. I want to activate cameras at the holiday house when i am not there and turn them off when I arrive via geofencing. Same at home. I want to use the new Away mode just for when I am at neither the home or the holiday home.

 

It seems there is now only a home and away function and you can't create different rules for different base stations? Any work arounds? There seemed to be a lot more control and functions in the last app version.

You can add a new location in the app for the holiday house, which would give you independent modes and geofencing.  If you have a subscription, then you'd need to get one for each location.  Though that isn't a problem if you are using the free 7-day cloud storage.
