Does you automation trigger a scene and does that scene change the mode of the house? I had to move mode change to the automation instead of the scene and my location trigger is working better than ever (fingers crossed).
You can’t see them as you could in the Classic app. That is a bad miss on Smartthings part.
I created a quick automation that said if my mobile left notify me with a push message. I did the same for my wife. I then drove in and out of my geofence and proved it was working. I deleted the problematic automation (created during migration) and tried to add it back. It wouldn’t allow me to pick the scene I wanted. The one that migrated. I was trying to build it back exactly as it was. The only scene it would allow was a scene without a mode change. As soon as I deleted mode change in the scene, it became available to the automation. I added it in and tested. Worked great. After cleaning up my other scenes, I was able to build all of my location based automations.
I had this problem and fixed it by removing the old “device” that was associated with the phone and reestablishing phone location in the new app. Also. You need to manually change the location services to “always” from “while using the app” in IOS.
To turn on presence detection, open the smart things app, sign in, click the 3 horizontal lines, then click the settings gear in the upper right corner. Turn on “Get your location from this phone.”
I’m still having the same problems … and I’ve tried everything here!
My and my wife’s cellphones both migrated over to the new app when I made the switch from Classic.
Oddly, when I set us up in the new app and did everything to enable geolocation, each of our devices now shows up twice — as though we each had two phones:
John Doe’s John’s iPhone
John’s iPhone
Then, I set up my kids in the new app (they weren’t in the old one) along with their iPhones as presence sensors. (They previously used Arrival Sensors, which I’m getting rid of.)
Everything is set up correctly in the new app … location and perimeter set correctly, “Get your location” turned on in the app, location tracking set to ‘Always’ in the iPhone settings, wifi and wireless both always on.
I created a basic automation to test it in the new app (since the devices and their status aren’t actually visible anywhere in the app):
If:
7:30am to 6:00pm weekdays
This member isn’t home: X’s iPhone
Stays this status for how long? = 1 minute
Then:
Send a notification to members: “X left a few minutes ago.”
Reopen the automation and carefully check it. For me in the automation conditions by default the WHO tab selects nobody… You need to manually add people to it for the condition to work.
I’ve had problems with this too. And I was thinking that perhaps the problem was with my phone. I noticed that it started not to work properly.It didn’t detect whether I was leaving the house or not. Only their number appeared when someone called me, even if it was registered in the contacts. I had to use Number Tracker Pro to always check them. But now I see I’m not the only one struggling since I switched from the classic version. I never thought that the updated version could be worse than the old one.
Same issue here. Location based automations not being triggered nor does any SmartApps.
Seems like issues with notifications and gps location. Which is very fondemental for my setup.
Been useless for weeks now. Any update from the mothership?
You may want to try turning off get location for this phone in the ST app and turn it back on. Take screenshots of any routines before doing that as you may need to reference them when recreating the routines.
