Locative: Geofence and Beacon

This app works great with many smart home hubs to allow reliable presence detection. And unlike some of the other options it does so without allowing all the other users on the same hub to track each other.

It used to work but I had it turned off while I was moving and now that I’m activating it again a few months later it doesn’t seem to be behaving well. I will be sitting at home and randomly it will send Leave and Entry events for no reason which makes my IoT go crazy. Hopefully it can get fixed because it used to be the only reliable geofence app I could find to send API requests.

After fiddling with IFTTT and IOS own home “automation” I found this app to be the only reliable one that could consistently make calls to my server when I come and go from my home. You can program a total of 20 places to keep track of exiting and leaving and calling your own custom server URLs.
