I get it... And thanks again for your help.
It's just a shame it couldn't be truly automatic so I (or my wife) wouldn't have to remember to do anything. Especially when driving away from the house, I don't want to have to pull over a block away to confirm that I really want to arm my cameras. My iOS Indigo Touch page is easy enough. No menus, All graphic, with a large button to toggle arming/disarming cameras. Still a hassle.
Looks like I'll need to study up on the Home app and Homekit Bridge to suss out the possibilities.
I'm hopeful Apple's soon-to-be-released Tile-like product will pan out. Using UWB (ultra wideband) technology provides for increased spatial resolution and range, with the U1 chip in the new iPhone 11. Sticking an Apple Tile on my house could work. Just hope that I'll not have to confirm that I really want to run my action when I leave or arrive.
