Geofence entry and exit
Geofence entry and exit rules trigger when a tag crosses the boundary of a zone. Entering a zone drawn inside it, such as a room, counts as being inside.
How it works
- Geofence entry triggers when a tag transitions from outside to inside a location.
- Geofence exit triggers when a tag transitions from inside to outside a location.
You can optionally set a minimum duration; the tag must stay inside (or outside) for a specified time before the rule triggers.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
location_id |
string | Yes | — | Zone to monitor |
min_duration_seconds |
integer | No | 0 | Minimum time before triggering |
You can also use zone_tags instead of location_id to target all zones with a specific tag.
Example: zone entry alert
A rule that triggers when any tag enters the goods-in warehouse (a zone drawn around the building, with anchors placed inside it):
- Rule type:
geofence_entry - Location:
zone_goods_in - Severity: High
Example: zone exit alert
A rule that triggers when a tag leaves the office campus (a zone drawn on the map):
- Rule type:
geofence_exit - Location:
zone_office_campus - Min duration: 60 seconds (avoids false triggers from GPS drift at the boundary)
