Description

When you enter or leave your geofence this app calls a URL on your Domoticz server so you can flip a virtual switch.
If you are offline, the transition will be stored and send when a data connection is available.

Setup:

On your Domoticz server:

Create a virtual switch that DomoFence will trigger
Go to 'Setup -> Hardware' and add a 'Dummy device'
Go to 'Switches' and add a 'Manual light/switch'
Select the right 'Hardware' and 'On/Off' the rest doesn't matter.
Add the device
Now go to 'Setup -> Devices' and note the 'Idx' of the switch you just created.

Secure your Domoticz server with a username and password
Go to 'Setup -> Settings'
At 'Website protection' fill in a username, password and select 'Basic-Auth'
Now Save your settings

Open a port on your router and pass it to your internal domoticz server (usually through NAT)

(Don't use the 'Remote Shared Port' on Domoticz, use the port you also use in your browser (8080 by default).)

If you use a self-signed certificate with https, DomoFence will accept the certificate and only validate if the Common Name (or Alternative Names) are the same as your hostname.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

4 ★Simply works
3 ★Unlike other apps which try to add geo-fence functionality to Domoticz, this one actually works! But it has two major problems: 1. Only one geo-fence can be added, there is no UI to add more. 2. The enter and exit actions are treated together, they cannot be separated. It would be great to be able to define several geo-fences and to separate the enter area and exit area functions (be able to define things like switch off a device when exiting the geo-fence 1 and switch on when entering the geo-fence 2).
4 ★Love the app. Just works like advertised. A feature request would be to add the option to insert and use a passphrase for protected switches to prevent adjusting the presence switch manually. (Just add "&passcode='passcode'" to the url)
5 ★I love the idea but haven't been able to make it work. All I get is Error: null. *** UPDATE ***: The problem was with my router configuration, the app works fine. Excellent support from the developer! Somewhere should perhaps be an explanation of the Geofence Radius unit. At first I wasn't sure should I put there meters or something else. Other than that this app does exactly what it says, five stars app.
5 ★Gewoon simpel zoals het hoort.
