Alerts based on Geofence Location

Post by warnox »

Hi,

I'm running Blue Iris v5.3.7.3 and want to disable alerting when my phone is 'inside' Geofence. I've configured the following but push notifications still seem to be sent out whether or not the phone is inside or outside.

1. Enabled and configured geofencing - works correctly.
2. Configured a profile change action based on 'enter geofence' to set the profile to 'At Home' (profile 2). Action is enabled for profiles 1 and 2. - works correctly.
3. Configured a profile change action based on 'exit geofence' to set the profile to 'Away' (profile 1) Action is enabled for profiles 1 and 2. - works correctly.
4. Camera Settings > Alerts tab > Profile 1 (Away), created an 'on alert' action to send a push notifications but only enabled it for profile 1.
5. Camera Settings > Alerts tab > Profile 2 (At Home) - checked 'Sync with Profile 1'.

What am I missing here? If screenshots would be useful please let me know.

Cheers.

In BI Settings, 'Mobile Devices' tab...
- Select your phone, then click 'Edit'.
- Click the 'Enter Geofence' button, then clear the 'Enable' checkbox.

Does this disable the Enter Geofence notification?

If you want to disable for a specific profile, leave it 'Enabled', and select only the profiles you want to be notified on.
