Periodic Location Update Problem

[Heikoho]

Hello,

I use the Periodic-Location-Update-Trigger as the startpoint of my Flow.

But the Flow starts only manuell. I set "Frequency" to 4m (4 Minutes), but it never starts allone.

Therfore i put a second Trigger "Periodic Timer" to the first and set it also to 4m.
Now the Flow start every 4 Minutes.
Now my Question: Is it a bug in "Periodic Location Update"? Why can i set in this Trigger "Frequency" to 4m and nothing happend?
Sorry for my bad english

Thanks,
Heiko

I have tried it out, the Period location update trigger properly based on the timer. What setting do you put at the trigger? If you use GPS, probably you should make sure the GPS is on. When my GPS is off, the trigger doesn't get triggered at all. So probably that's the problem.

If it still doesn't work, maybe not compatible at your phone. You can just use Periodic timer + action Init variable location. That will do the same.

Hi,

Likely the device does not provide a location to trigger Periodic Location at all. The trigger will not execute the flow when it did not get at least one location. This could be caused when the location feature in the system settings of the device is turned off or when the trigger is configured to use a location provider that is not enabled in the system settings (e.g. when using GPS but location mode in system settings is set to battery saving mode). In the latter case you can edit the trigger and select another location provider like Network or switch to the Google Play services location features by using one of the experimental ones like High Accuracy.
