I entered in 500 and have a device well outside that range (see below) but it still indicates that it is within the GeoFence. Just wondering if the distance is really miles or there is something else going on here.

I set my GeoFence to 26400 feet (5 miles)
I have a device reporting over 8 miles away, yet it still says it's within the GeoFence.

snowjay wrote:It looks like the GeoFence distance # is in meters even though Imperial is selected. I looked at the GeoFence outline on the dynamic map and it was way bigger than 5 miles. I cut it down to 10000 and it created a fence of about 6 miles which is more accurate. Devices still show in the fence though.
Edit: if I change the units to meters it looks like everything is working fine now.

Can't wait to check out the new plugin as well.

I'm seeing the same problem. I'm set to Imperial and the Range of the Geolocation is set to 500. I was several miles away and the system reported me at home. I'm on version 1.02.03
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help?

60 secondsa) What is the current reporting period (value of the secondsNextUpdate) state for the device. It can be as long as an hour if the battery is low.
I only installed the plugin 1 week ago and it always shows my wife and I at home.b) Is it always the same problem? Sometimes the Apple API isn't as proactive as we'd like and can take a while to give us a new location
I switched to metric this morning and switched back this evening. I'll see tomorrow if it helps. The range seemed to switch from 500 ft to 29 meters when switching to metric (i think ), however it stayed at 29 when switching to imperial this evening. I switched it to 500 again.c) Can you convert to Metric (in the iFindStuff Configuration) - allow it to run for 30 mins and then revert back to imperial? Occasionally in the early days of experimentation with the plugin these numbers can get confused and this should remove any rogue data. When you complete the changes, in each case have a look at the range for the GeoFence (edit the device) and see if the changes it's made are sensible- i.e. is the conversion correct.
