This weekend ran into an issue where I had power, but no internet for the whole weekend. I realized that a bit too much of my configuration relyed on other services that required internet connection. Hard to have a totally local system, if the key components require internet.
Which brings me to this question. Although I totally understand there would be no way for the app to properly provide location details while away from home, would it provde a Home status when I got home and connected to my wifi, also maybe as or more importantly, would it provide an away (not_home) status when disconnected from wi-fi, or would it just hang, providing no status, or the last status.
Overall I find the app is ok, even with internet, it tends to be hit or miss, which is why I had moved away from using it for much of what I do, but now I want to make sure I have a few device trackers that can provide a good home/not_home status that does not require internet.
EDIT: Also will the app receive notifications if locally connected with no internet?
Edit2: the more I think about it, I would probably not leave my phone on wifi for an extended period of time if there was no internet available, Iād be using my phone celluar data, so that means no local control or notifciations on the phone. Hmm, maybe for the 1st time I see the benefit of a small tablet wall panel, or at least pulling out that old unused ipad for some local control and alerts.
