Giving Geo fencing another go. And so far no instances where the system has been armed whilst we are home.
But it seems Arlo has long breaks between checking in. We have never had the system turn off when we enter the radius. We have tried large medium and small radius.
On the other hand, when leaving the radius(large medium or small) it's very slow to detect this. Today it took 40 minutes.
Any advice on upping the frequency of check-in. Both phones (Android) are on high accuracy Location services.
Can connecting/disconnecting to the bases bases WiFi provider, be a trigger for Geo location.??
TIA

Not currently and may not be ultimately useful. I have an August Smart Lock that utilizes both location and WiFi and will still not always unlock the door for me. YMMV.

 

Also, unlocking the phone usually allows location to be determined nearly immediately. Recent power-saving capabilities in various OSes cause most of the problems in this regard.
