Geofence for Domoticz

[forum026]

If there are errors you should see them in a Toast (the short popup message). If your virtual switch does get switched on, the communication should be OK. And if the app give a notification when entering the geofence, that should work also.
You could also look into your location history at google and see if anything weird happens: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0

And you could try to see what happens when you place the geofence at another location (e.g. at work) to test if it works there.

There were not error messages. This weekend I updated the Domoticz software to V3.xxx and now it's working fine.

Is there any geofence for Windows phones?

Can you add login page auth support in addition to basic-auth?

[Appesteijn]

Not sure how that works, just a POST to the login form?

I'll have a look this weekend.

--Update: Didn't have time this weekend. I'll put it on the backlog for this app.

Been using Pilot on an iPhone successfully for some time and now converted to Android and therefore attempting to use Domofence but all I get is "Error: <URL>". The URL is correct but I don't know where the error is coming from. Can anyone help please?

Maybe this post and my answer below it will help: http://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75137#p75137

Thanks for the help. I changed to Basic-Auth, still not change. I reloaded the app and it now works. Thanks again.

Good to hear!

I have been testing your application for a couple of days now, but it doesn't seem to work for me. The app is not recognizing my location somehow. Only a few times when I'm at home i got the message that the geofence was entered.

Are there know issues with a Samsung Galaxy Note 4?

A little late (was on vacation), but there are no known issues with your device. What ou could try is to open Google Maps when you are at home and the geofence isn't triggered. Look where you phone thinks you are.

Also it is advised (when you have problems with the geofence) to start with a large geofence (1000 meters for example) and look if that works. Then start making the geofence smaller 500, 250, etc.

Using reverse proxy at my place. If I specify the port, my proxy sends the request to that port on the firewall and not the server where it's supposed to go. Is it possible to do the "port" option not mandatory?

Yes it is, I'll look in to it today.

Edit: I just released a new version where the port number is optional. Your phone should update in a few hours (when google has distributed the new version)

Thank you! However, when i don't add a port number, it adds a ":" at the end of the url so the json url does'nt work ( "myserver.com:/" and not "myserver.com/")

You should leave the field completely empty (so it reads 'Port'). Let me know if that doesn't work.

Still adding the ":"

Spoiler: show

Still adding the ":"

That is weird, tested it on a few phones of myself. You could try to remove and add the Geofence and see if that works, maybe saving the empty port number went wrong.

I just made checking of a valid port number more robust, so a new version should be on your phone in a few hours.

Let me know if it works.

Working perfectly now Thank you!

Hi!

My domofence stopped working. Whatever i do (leave port empty or fill it in) i get fail test connection but it reports back (port 80). It will fail because i dont use port 80 but a custom one. It seems like its not possible to change to something else, it reports back fail port 80 whatever i enter.

Its a Samsung S6 with the latest domofence. I have tried reinstalled it and reconfig it.

Edit - im using a port above 9999 (5 digits) and this is the problem.
If i remove one digit it works. This must have changed in the last version - is it possible to change back?
