Geofencing- has it ever worked?

[madkiwi]

The geofencing idea is fantastic and all, but has anything ever been this unreliable in the history of the wheel?

I already knew it was hit and miss, so when I got to our vacation home today I manually set it to "Home" before going in. As we were leaving I set it to geofencing.

An HOUR later I got a text advising that it was now armed.

wtf...

My phone is a Galaxy S7 with Android 7.0 on Verizon.

I ran it for a month or two using( on older LG android ) a single phone and found it to be very reliaable....with these issues;

1) only one phone ( many seem to have issues with multi phones re the mode and it takes a few times to get it working right )

2) had to make my geozone Larger as my phones gps was a combo of real gps and cell towers ( AGPS ), lack of accuracy at time caused issues by making me out of zone

3) had to remember NOT to turn off gps and or sign out of app or it obv fails to function
