I am trying to create a dyanmic geofencing. Here is a hypothetical scenario. My child is going to go to a friends house after school. Later she is going to walk home. I’d like to know she left the house. Now I don’t want to create static zones for every friend she has. What I would like to do is this: I’d like to tell alexa, set up a geofence for X.
From there it will now monitor for when my daughter leaves her current location.
I am running the iphone tracker, companion app and life360 for device tracking and all of my configuration is done in Node-Red.
Where I am fuzzy is on stationary zones and how to hook into when a stationary zone is exited.
Anyone have an easy way to make this happen? I can write my own routine in node-red but if theres something out there that is already doing it I’d like to save myself the time and use that.
This was close to what I came up with utilizing Proximity integration and Node-red
Alexa pushes a helper button on command which then triggers my node-red routine.
The routine then creates a global and stores a true/false and the proximity from home.
Every minute I then check to see if the current proximity is not = to the globally stored proximity for more than 30 seconds. If it is then I know they have left the area.
Works perfectly. Thank you all for the suggestions. Here’s an image of what I did. I’d provide the node-red but I have so many subsystems that I plug into it would go far beyond the scope of what this thread was about.
