EgiGeoZone Geofence

EgiGeoZone Geofencing App - for example to control a house automation server

EgiGeoZone is an Android Geofencing app which uses different sensors in your phone or tablet to determine your location and then to 'trigger' different actions when entering or leaving predefined zones that you can choose. It can trigger many actions directly, or simply display a notification on screen to do so. In other words, the app works in a similar way to apps like Tasker, which allows certain events to initiate an action on your smartphone or even a remote server.

* New for developers: Now you can develop your own plugins for EgiGeoZone *

Note: To configure server connections and to send e-mails in the background a some special knowledge is necessary! Before leaving a bad review, please inquire for advice in the forum.

The following actions can be triggered when entering or leaving a zone:

- Contact a geofencing service, such as the Geofancy module from FHEM, to control home automation devices, or call your own URLs when entering or leaving a zone.

- Send emails

- Other actions:

Call 'Tasker' tasks

Switch Wi-Fi on or off when entering/leaving (Works only with Android smaller or equal Version 9)

Switch Sound on or off when entering/leaving

Switch Bluetooth on or off when entering/leaving (Works only with Android smaller or equal Version 11)

- Live Tracking

Possible applications:

- Open or close your garage door, turn on the heating or turn it down, switch lights on/off, etc. EgiGeoZone can interface with most home automation servers

- Co-ordinate your car share. For example, if the driver leaves work, another person can be be automatically notified via email, allowing them to get to the meeting place on time.

- When leaving the 'Home' Zone, Bluetooth turns on enabling your phone to pair with the hands-free in your car. When you get back home, it turns Bluetooth off again, saving on your battery.

- Upon reaching work, you can have EgiGeoZone switch the sound off, and and then on again when leaving.

- Presence and absence check on servers.
