Geofencing

Anybody hows how to get geofencing to work on the Homey? I can select an user in "A specific user came home" but that's it. At least Homey must know where I am and you need an app like Owntracks on your mobile phone to do this.

    Wild guess;
    The Homey Android app knows where you are
    In Homey you also set the location of Homey.

    This is enough for Homey to known if you are "home/nearby". 

    I have no idea if there's a setting like;
    On what distance of Homey we can consider you as at home?

    I installed the app and configured an flow which says "Welcome Home". When making dinner (my kitchen is next to my office) I "came home" 3 or 4 times without leaving my house...

    Big LoL (or not...)

    I think the distance option is missing :neutral:

    It is like a dog, it keeps enthousiastic even if you left the room for a couple of seconds it thinks you left for years.
