Geofence zone doesn't work 15-03-001

[Endscreen]

Hello. My MacroDroid Version is 5.42.6 Pro. MD Helper version 1.14 Device: Samsung Table S6 without ADB-Hack

I want to test a macro with geofence function. First, I create a home zone with 100 meter radius in geofences, called "Home 100".
Second: I add a new macro with empty trigger and subsequent actions:

If
Inside Area: Home 100
Speak Text: Your are in the Home-zone !
End If

No Constraints.

No (local) Variables.

In the last step I went to test actions. The log file shows:
A: If (Inside Area: Home 100) If condition failed.

Then I thought to myself: OK, I'll reverse the condition

If
Outside Area: Home 100
Speak Text: Your are in the Home-zone !
End If

A: If (Outside Area: Home 100) If condition failed.

Where is the error?

I am not sure if thats the reason but it might be that you actually have to move into the zone/out of the zone for it to work.

Something like that came to my mind too. I'll wait for a few more answers.

yes, this is the problem.

use a custom macro for geofences that switches a variable. as soon as you come in or go out of the geofence the variable change.

if it changes to the entry you want, then your macro will run inside or outside of the geofence and not only when geofence triggers.

Just walk 150m away from home and you'll have confirmation quicker than waiting for hypothetical and divergent answers...
