    Geofency Times Out

    I'm Trying to set up geofency on my wifes phone but it is timing out when I perform the enter or exit test after entering the webhook info. I opened up the port in my router and performed the following....

    Geofency Configuration (Plug-In Side)
    Configuration is almost identical to the other user types with the exception that you will need the device ID from the Geofency app. The easiest way to obtain this is to run a test upload from the app. The device ID will then be displayed in the HS log in the form of an error message that the current device ID does not have a corresponding plug-in device. Once you have the device ID go to users / devices and add a new Geofency user type.

    Geofency Configuration (Mobile App Side)
    Each fence created in the app has individual server settings. Create a new fence and then select Webhook from the settings. Tap Event -> URL Settings.
    Switch on Notify on Entry and enter the URL http://yourhomeseerserverortnumber/phlgeofency
    Switch on Notify on Exit and enter the URL http://yourhomeseerserverortnumber/phlgeofency
    The plug-in currently doesn't support the Notify on Error feature so leave this switched off.
    Set POST Format to Default
    In Authentication enter the user name and password configured previously in http server settings.
    Tap the Test Enter and Test Exit buttons. If everything is configured properly you should see new fence devices created and updated in HS3.


    But I just get a timed out error and do not see anything in the log. anybody have any idea's???

    Make sure that the plug-ins http server is running on the configuration>other page. It will start automatically once at least 1 device exists that needs it but you may need to start it manually the first time.

    Once the http server is running, from a browser on the same LAN as your HS3 machine (but not the HS3 machine itself) try the url

    http://192.168.1.10:1234/phlgeofency

    replacing the IP address and the port number with those configured within the plug-in's settings.

    If you are prompted for credentials then that side of things is working and it will be a router issue. If not, then it will likely be a firewall issue on the HS machine.

      Thank you again. It was in my Firewall. Just took me a while to figure out where. LOL
