Reliable location triggering

A great supplemental location tool for device triggering and automation.

Perfect and Simple

Works perfectly for my needs with Home Assistant. Really great and simple app.

Great app

Using with Hubitat for Home Automation and it just works.

Great small Geofencing app for smart home use

This app works great with many smart home hubs to allow reliable presence detection. And unlike some of the other options it does so without allowing all the other users on the same hub to track each other.

(@_@)! Incredible for hackers

HTTPR support and everything, hot dam!

Seems to be broken since iOS 15

Please fix it! 🙏🏼

Response from developer

Unfortunately this is an issue with iOS 15 and nothing we can do about it. Currently all Apps using Geofencing, even system ones, are affected. We‘re desperately waiting for Apple to fix this as well. If you’d like to get more details please feel free to send an email to support@locative.app. Have a good day!

Doesn’t work in IOS15

So I can’t use it.

Things needed

Great app. I’ve previously used Geofency.

On the notifications tab I can’t tell which device is which as all my iBeacons have the same UUID but different max and min values. Can you show the location name instead of uuid please?

Also a clear all button or even a group for each device?

The big point I hope this app has is 100% delivery. Does it keep trying to do a http post? I hope so as sometime when you are entering / exiting a location you can have bad signal but it’s important the post event goes through as soon as it can.

Mind if its own lately

It used to work but I had it turned off while I was moving and now that I’m activating it again a few months later it doesn’t seem to be behaving well. I will be sitting at home and randomly it will send Leave and Entry events for no reason which makes my IoT go crazy.

Hopefully it can get fixed because it used to be the only reliable geofence app I could find to send API requests.

Thank you very much for your review, we'd be glad to help, if you don't mind getting in touch with support@locative.app.

Great app for geofencing

After fiddling with IFTTT and IOS own home “automation” I found this app to be the only reliable one that could consistently make calls to my server when I come and go from my home. You can program a total of 20 places to keep track of exiting and leaving and calling your own custom server URLs.
