Because the position code shows the suburb you are currently in. With my example if I am in suburb X, chances are I am at home, or available. Rather than using the Lat / Long i use the suburb.

Which is NOT the case. I am in Rochester when at work, and in my suburb at night. Oh well, I guess I can always use circle math against the coordinates.

I'm having the same issue.
It shows my location as New York, USA
I do live in New York state, but am 6 hours away from NY city.
BTW, great script!
It nice to see useful scripts being donated by knowledgeable folks that don't want $39.99 just to use it.
Thanks!!!!
Edit:
It's a Google issue.
When I went to Google Latitude it showed my location as New York, USADan-O

oh, I agree it is a Google issue. I just thought, if someone had already implemented something to determine the locations, then I was all set.
Looks like another project that I'll have to wait on for someone else to "fix" or until I have time.
Besides this Google issue, GREAT job on it! I never thought to work with something like this.
Figure, use RFID or BT to determine if you are home or not, BUT, instead of based on time (away for 20 minutes), based on distance + time or rough "area" that I am in (if I am near work, I am generally there at least 8 hours, so I can have a good chance of assuming I'm gone for that long), control the temperature of the house. Totally AWESOME!

Did you want the lat/log logged or the inferred position?HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.435 (Windows Server 8.1 on ESXi box)

I posted version .2 which will calculated distances between the Latitude point and fixed points. You will need to go to Google and get the latitude/long of your house/work etc.
Instructions are in the file and in the post. I indented lines that fix individual setups.
Let me know any issues and suggestions for .3HS3 Pro Edition 3.0.0.435 (Windows Server 8.1 on ESXi box)
