Ok, So I feel that I'm totally missing something with the Geofency app. I installed PHLocation PI in HS3 and the Genfency app on my Iphone 6. I don't see any screen on the phone that would allow me to 'Switch on Notify on Entry and enter the URL'. I think that is the webhook function, but I don't see how to access it? What am I missing? HELP!

Then tap webhook
then tap on each field and enter your settings

Thanks much Randy!
Right after I posted the question, out of desperation and thinking a reply will take awhile, I rebooted the phone and voila, there is webhook! All that was available before were the standard sharing locations
(Dropbox, one drive, file, etc). Thought I was really losing it . Thanks much

Good timing for this subject. I've been using Geofency thru MyHS since November without any issues detected til yesterday - apparently it missed the 'enter' event. No biggie, just that certain lights didn't come on as expected. It worked as expected today.
The reliability level is certainly more than acceptable, but wondering if you have any backups in place for a missed update? I used to use the iCloud devices but the update rate could be erratic. Maybe I should add that back in for redundancy...

Randy, so you use the web link you posted and your login info in order for that to work with MyHS? Anything else change in the setup in PHL?

For connection via MyHS
Switch on Notify on Entry and enter the URL https://connected2.homeseer.com/phlapi?dtype=GF
Switch on Notify on Exit and enter the URL https://connected2.homeseer.com/phlapi?dtype=GF
In Authentication enter your MyHS credentials.
The plug-in currently doesn't support the Notify on Error feature so leave this switched off.
Set POST Format to Default

Originally posted by rprade View PostCritical things like security system arming do need redundant event triggers using iOS locations. I have a preference to GeoFency, but if iOS fences change, house occupancy events will run. Basically if either GeoFency or iOS change to "not near" the user is deemed to be away and if either change to near the user is home. I only did that after I had my radius for the locations tweaked enough to be satisfied that there would be no false exit and entry notifications. So far GeoFency has been so reliable as to not need the redundant iCloud support.Michael

I keep getting this error in my logs:Any idea what is creating this? I'm posting enter and exit successfully to the HS3 Web Server site with GeoFency. I've read and read for hours on this but can't seem to find out why.(phlapi) POST Error: Invalid or missing POST data type for data!
Thanks in advance!
Figured it out, the key was for my iPad not my iPhone.

When it happens, I still get a success message when I test Enter and Exit but the message is longer but HS never receives the notification, where as when it truly is successful I get a shorter success message....which added to the confusion when I was trying to figure out what the issue was.
Is there a link that has been more consistently reliable?HS4 4.2.6.0 &HSTouch Designer 3.0.80
