My exit area is small, about 3 blocks, in case I go biking, walking, visit with neighbors. My entrance area is about 3 miles wide since I want the house to get ready for our arrival- ac, gate, outdoor lights, etc.
For what ever reason, I haven't had any delays or problems with ifttt. This is the first occupancy setup that has not made my wife want to strangle me. I've used other setups where in the middle of the night it would say exit and then entry and turn on lights, etc. Or I would leave and the AC, lights, TV, music, etc would go off while she was home

However, the past two days, it didn't register my exit or entrance to my home area properly. One thing that was different is that I had not been using my phone (maybe for an hour or so) during the times I was exiting or entering my home area. This morning, it updated immediately after I turned on my phone, many miles and minutes after I had exited my home area. So, I am getting suspicious that IFTTT geofencing only works well if phone hasn't gone in a deeper sleep. And maybe other solutions like Geofency work better since they keep the iPhone at a more awake state???

Many of us use PHLocation and a fencing app such as Geofency. Lots of great information here:
