I’m using a Google Nexus 4 phone. I go to “tap to edit your home location on the map” and the map appears with a red circle about 8 blocks in diameter. I’m in a densely populated area, so I’d like to reduce the size of my geofence. When I click on the black dot at the bottom of the circle, I get a message that says, “Geofence Drag handle to resize geofence.” Is there some secret to dragging it? Because touching and holding the black dot and then sliding my finger simple zooms in on the map or zooms out – but the geofence remains the same size. Is there an alternate way to do this via computer desktop?
Thanks.
You can ask support@smartthings.com , but you are probably already at the minimum geo-fence size for a cellphone, which is 500 feet radius.
The other alternative is the zigbee presence fob which is sold by smartthings and has a range of about 50 feet maximum, extendable to around 100 feet if you use a repeater.
These work great for some people, while others have problems with them. But it is another option to try if you want to narrow the range.

@camanokid ,
Welcome to the forums! I pulled out the presence sensor question because I’m sure it will generate a lot of comments.
