Geofency iOS setup?

[xz77777xz]

Thank you Sooty for all the hard work as well as rprade and other active users answering questions!


I can't seem to get the GeoFency app working correctly. iPhone X 1st time geofency app user configured per the instructions:


https://jphuddlestone.co.uk/phlocati.../Geofency.html


1st try using the myhomeseer information I get this:



And I am unable to find any reference to the device in the homeseer web interface logs.

When I configure the app to report locally to ( http://yourhomeseerserverortnumber/phlgeofency ) http://192.168.1.234:80/phlgeofency

I get a similar error in the app but see this in the HS web portal log:

Jan-15 7:02:55 PM Warning File does not exist: /home/homeseer/HomeSeer/html/phlgeofency

Been trying this for 2+ hours and still nothing in the logs. Am i looking in the right place?

System Information

iPhone X, 1st time using Geofency v.5.8.5
Homeseer Ubuntu Server 18
Linux version: Linux homeseer 4.15.0-43-generic
HomeSeer Version: HS3 Standard Edition 3.0.0.478


Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Are you using PHLocation2? Those instructions are for the previous version. The new URL would be /phl2api?dtype=GF instead of /phlgeofency

Ugh don't know how I missed that Thanks for the help

For those of you posting from 3rd party apps like GeoFency, PHL2 does not use its own web server, it uses the HS built-in server. The posting is still the same as before with two changes 1) it now uses your HomeSeer web server port (usually 80) so create your port forwarding rules and structure the URL accordingly. 2) The api is now phl2api, with the original it was phlapi. The dtypes are the same as listed in the PHL documentation.


If you are posting to GeoFency for example it will be:

MYHS:
https://connected2.homeseer.com/phl2api?dtype=GF
Use your MyHS login credentials

Direct through port forwarding:
http://[ddns domain name]:[external port]/phl2api?dtype=GF
if you have "No Password Required for Local/Same Network Login (Web Browser/HSTouch)" no credentials are required, otherwise use your HS admin account credentials.

Direct through VPN:
http://[HS local IP]:[HS port - not required if 80]/phl2api?dtype=GF
if you have "No Password Required for Local/Same Network Login (Web Browser/HSTouch)" no credentials are required, otherwise use your HS admin account credentials.
