Hi Wes,

First, I'd like to be able to edit the location variable name please.
Second, your popup states the variable will be 1 when in-region and 0 when outside region. My iPhone variable is showing 2 for in-region and 0 for outside region. Also, setting the initial value might not be a good idea .. initial value is set to 2 because I set it up in-region. What if there's a power fail while outside region, the variable would be wrong. I assume the variable only changes on an in/out region state change.

Edit: Driving around the variable goes to 0 out of region and 1 in region. Initial value is still set to 2.

I think the 100 meters leaving region is about right but I have to be pulling into my driveway before it registers in-region.

Hi Andy,

This is done on purpose.

The initial value is set to a 2. MobiLinc doesn't assume it's in or out of a region until explicitly told by iOS. Then MobiLinc will set the variable to a 1 or a 0 from there on out.

If there's a power failure and the ISY reboots, the value is set to a 2. Again, we can't assume in or out of a region, so we set to a value outside of our range (2) and wait to get the boundary crossing notification again to set it correctly to a 1 or a 0.

Since programs trip on the value changing (not just setting the same value over again) we have to start with something other than 1 or a 0 to get your programs to fire initially.

The 100 meters is a guide for iOS to follow. It not NOT GPS accurate. Please read my notes on this on our site: http://mobilinc.com/geofence/

Understood about variable name editing. You can edit this through the ISY's Admin Console. As long as you don't delete it, you can rename it freely.

Ah! OK then. Makes senses.
