Hi!

 

I’m trying to set up geofencing with TP-Link home automation and need some guidance. Currently, I have basic geofencing set up to handle simple tasks like turning on the lights when I arrive home and turning them off when I leave.

 

However, I want to take this a step further to account for multiple users in the home. For instance, if I leave the house but my spouse is still there, I don’t want the lights to turn off. Is there a way to configure geofencing so that it considers the presence of multiple people in the household?


I wonder if that's at least planned :)

  @Wayne-TP I appreciate that but, geofencing does not have sense in most cases if there are more people than you in your house. This option should be a must

  @ercovi It's still marked as "beta", but for some simple things it works really nice. I love the function "turn on the lights after dark when I get back home and open the door" ;). That's a fairly complex condition but of course if you would like to turn off the lights when no one is home and you leave - that will not work. Whats more, it would be difficult to know, when everybody has truly left. They would have to "check-out" of the set permiter. 

 

@Wayne-TP some system use WiFi connection to determine presence. Did you consider that? (If a user is within a WiFi range he is "at home")
