Domoticz

Geofencing:
Me and my girlfriend use the geofencing function to check if anybody is home. If not, Domoticz makes sure that the heating is turned off, lights and other devices are switched off etc. Since we went from iPhones to these Samsungs, it never ever worked properly anymore. I've switched a couple of times between the beta and stable domoticz app, I've played with multiple servers (local IP and https for external). I've tried different ranges from 250 to 1000 Meters. I've tried everything but it only works _sometimes_. The geofencing seems to be much worse than the iphone, that was really stable, always correct and only switched once when really leaving of exiting an area.

The geofencing part itself seems to work pretty accurate as I'm notified that I enter or leave the geofence, but why is it not applied to the configured button, when I get a "leaving location" notification, the switch is not turned off. When I manually change a switch using the app, it always works without errors, inside and outside the local network.

I've tried another app, Domofence. It seems to be even worse with this one.

Battery usage:
Android let's me know that the battery usage for Domoticz with Geofencing enabled is more than 1% per hour. I've disabled the monitoring for this app but isn't it a little bit too much?

Thanks!

I am currently using ssh-tunnels together with the app, but I would really like a no-hassle solution for remote control of my home.

It's really a shame if this is true. This functionality is rendered completely useless then. I need to investigate bluetooth now as a replacement, hopefully it's more reliable.

I bought the full version yesterday so as to add geofences... and both apps stopped working with the update rolled out today in Playstore. Both the light as the full version shut down as soon as I start them. For reference, I'm using Domoticz 3.8342 on Rasperry with Raspbian Stretch and the 0.1.412 (3251) of the Android app. Disabling mobile data allows me to open the app but of course with no functionality. Over wifi, everything is ok. How can I help troubleshoot the issue?

There isn't any issues with the installation or connection settings. The dashboard loads fine after a while, but it can take a minute.
From browser (desktop or mobile) the dashboard loads like the wind.

When opening the app, first there is a blank page with ads showing, then a toast with error message and lastly the dashboard loads.

How did you get the up en and down arrow for the blinds? I only have on/off for my blinds. I made an export of the devicetype. Maybe this device type can also be added in the app as blinds with the up and down arrow?

For a couple of days a saw that the app notifies me but sometimes not trigger the switch in Domoticz that is attached to it. So I think that something is wrong there.

Also at home I see that the app multiple times switched between on and off I have a 500m radius at my home. I think that thats a problem of not having good gps reception in home. But thats also anoying.

I don't know nothing about app programming. But maybe there needs to be a buildin check that checks if the switch is flipped. Is it not do it again.
