Geofencing

When will geofencing be supported?

my household does not run on a predictable schedule so the included basic schedule on/off option does not work for us. Our lights, security cameras and even our heat/AC work via geofencing, come on SimpliSafe.

Hi @PCox62, 

We have submitted this feature to our dev team for their consideration, but I do not have any updates regarding it. I'll bubble this idea back up to them. When we get any news, we'll provide an update over in this thread.

Any further word on this?  We are in the same situation - scheduled operations are useless because of our schedule.  Your site clearly indicates that geofencing is available, yet I cannot find it in the app. As point out, this is pretty much a standard feature for many systems these days, and should have been standard in all security systems from day 1.  I understand there are potentially complex situations regarding which devices can be where for arming to happen (e.g. I only want it armed if all *adult* phones are off premise, ignoring child devices), but it's not really that complex.

Agreed. This is basic functionality. Abode had it in 2017. What are you doing SimpliSafe?

A quick Google search shows that SimpleSafe has been passing this suggestion on to the developers for many years now with no result. It seems that this is their standard brush-off response when someone requests this feature.
