This platform allows you to detect presence using [Geofency](http://www.geofency.com/). Geofency is a [paid app](https://itunes.apple.com/app/id615538630) for iOS that lets users to configure a request that will be sent when a geofence or iBeacon region is entered or exited. This can be configured with Home Assistant to update your location.
This platform allows you to detect presence using [Geofency](http://www.geofency.com/).
To integrate Geofency in Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: geofency
```
{% configuration %}
mobile_beacons:
description: List of beacon names that are to be treated as *mobile*. The name must match the name you configure in Geofency. By default, beacons will be treated as *stationary*.
required: false
type: list
{% endconfiguration %}
A full sample configuration for the `geofency` platform is shown below:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: geofency
mobile_beacons:
- car
- keys
```
To configure Geofency, you must configure (via the Webhook feature) to send a POST request to your Home Assistant server at `http://<ha_server>/api/geofency`. Use the default POST format, and make sure to include the API password if you have configured a password in Home Assistant (add `?api_password=<password>` to the end of the URL). Make sure to enable the 'Update Geo-Position' functionality for mobile beacons.
<p class='note'>
You must have the [Geofency component](/components/geofency/) configured to use this device tracker.
</p>
Geofency will automatically generate the device tracker name used for geofences, and you will find it in `known_devices.yaml` after the first request. For beacons, the device name will be `beacon_<name from Geofency>`, e.g., `device_tracker.beacon_car`.
