How do you change the perimeter size


#1

I setup my ST so it would detect my presence with my Smart Phone. I would like it to unlock my door when I am in front of it. Right now, it detects my phone about 500ft away. How do I make the perimeter smaller. Do I need to make a piston in WebCore to specify the lenght?


#2

I would highly encourage you to not use an auto-unlock command…
Especially, if it is based on GPS. As far as I know, every single GPS device on the planet will jump a little bit throughout the day…

Do you really want your front door to be randomly unlocked?!?


#3

Not randomly unlock. Only when I am in front of the door. I would restrict it so it is in time from when I am coming home from work.


#4

Not sure how your smart lock works, but with my August Lock, it starts looking for my phone through Bluetooth once I am inside the perimeter of my home location (set by webcore) and only unlocks when I’m about 10 feet away. So, this prevents the above issue and it works great. I wouldn’t rely on just location based unlocking.

Would you mind sharing that setup? Sounds ideal!
