I have geofencing set up with two devices, my phone and my wife's. It's set up so that the system activates when we leave and disarms when we come back. This works perfectly with one device because it does exactly what you want - it turns on when you leave the house.

 

But what I've noticed with two devices is that it activates if either one of us leaves, so even when someone is still home, the system is activated. So it seems like the logic is, "if any device is out of zone, then do X" when what I'd like is, "If all devices are out of zone, then do X". If you think about it, if the point of geofencing is to allow you to activate the system when you leave then there's no point in activating it while someone is still home.

 

Am I missing something? Is there a way to set this up so that it only activates when both of us are out of zone?

JoeKo575, you and your girlfriend need separate accounts, don’t use the same account

That does not help. We have 3 users with their own accounts and geofencing does not work.

This is what worked for me. However, only 2 users and both iPhones.
