As a concerned parent, ensuring my child’s safety has always been a top priority. I recently stumbled upon the idea of using dynamic geofencing to monitor my child’s movements without setting up multiple static zones. The concept is simple yet powerful: instead of creating a geofence for every friend’s house, I want the system to automatically detect when my child leaves their current location and notify me accordingly.
I’ve been using Node-Red for my automation setup, and while it’s incredibly flexible, I’m still fuzzy on how to implement this dynamic geofencing feature. My child uses an iPhone with the Tracker, Companion, and Life360 apps, and all my configurations are done through Node-Red. The challenge lies in detecting when my child exits a stationary zone and triggering an alert without manually setting up each location.
I’ve explored the idea of writing a custom routine in Node-Red but would love to save time if there’s an existing solution out there. If anyone has successfully implemented something similar or has tips on how to approach this, I’d be incredibly grateful. It’s all about finding that perfect balance between technology and peace of mind!
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this!
