You are trying Geofencing but for static location. It is possible to compare location 1 to 2, by saving previous location to gloVar first, example {global_last_position}. Make sure you save it as the type location, it should be location type already if you assign directly from the trigger's variable {location}.
Then you can use expression
somewhere before the end of the flow, add a new script to save current location to the glovar
If you understand the concept already, you can actually combine both of them into the same expression. (no need additional script at the end of the flow)
Code: Select all
test = location == global_last_position;
global_last_position = location;
test
We compare current location with previous one, save it in {test}. Then save current location to glovar. Finally check the result of the test. In expression, the last executed statement (even inside a if()) must always evaluated to true or false, thus the test should be the last.
But location is very sensitive, move a bit, and you probably have a different coordinate. So it is better to calculate the distance. You can calculate it using distance(). The result is in meters. The expression below check if the distance of current location vs previous location is more than 20 meters.
Code: Select all
dis = distance(location, global_last_position);
global_last_position = location;
dis > 20
I think this is not the best way to check for the static location. You have wifi AP nearby, just use wifi connected/disconnected as the trigger, or wifi available as the condition. Since you need timer, probably geofencing concept from the other thread can be used.
