![]() ![]() I have been using Mobilinc for nearly a year, and the app only correctly records a boundary crossing probably 50% of the time. I live in a very densely populated city with plenty of wifi hotspots and good cellphone coverage, yet I still have very unreliable variable updates on crossing geo-fence boundaries. With iBeacons and Advanced Locations, you can have MobiLinc update ISY variables based on which iBeacon you are near (room scale - about 10-20 feet resolution). iBeacons are in the <10m range for location needs. They won't change anything with geo-fences. ![]() Wes AdminWes Site Admin Posts: 2153 Joined: Sat 2:52 pmĪdminWes wrote:Yes, iBeacons gives you in-home or business location awareness when paired with the Advanced Location plug-in of MobiLinc. Keeping the iPhone out and in clear line of sight plugged into a power source is the best chance at getting all the many variables working together for reliable geofence crossing activity. If the iPhone is in a weak cell area, or cell data happens to be down or impacted at the time (maybe the iPhone doesn't have a clear line of sight to a cell tower) then MobiLinc won't be able to reach the ISY to tell the ISY about the variable state change. When the boundary crossing event does occur, iOS gives MobiLinc only 2 minutes to tell the ISY about the variable state change. While very rare, it does happen where iOS just doesn't fire a boundary crossing.Ģ. If iOS hasn't seen Wi-Fi access points it recognizes or cell tower data has changed, this can impact iOS ability to recognize when the boundary has actually happened. iOS actually controls when the boundary is crossed. It's not possible to hit 100% for the following reasons:ġ. 95% of the time is about what I would expect.
