System and Account

Frontpoint's Places feature makes it easy for you to set up automation rules and reminders based on your smartphone's location using geo-services. Trigger these reminders and automation rules when traveling into or out of a set boundary or "geofence".

Add, edit, and delete geofences directly from the Frontpoint app and set up location-based rules. These rules enable you to automate devices like lights and thermostats so they turn on/off when you come home/leave. You can also set arming reminders for when you leave home and automatically pause camera recordings whenever you're at home.

A Home location will be the first geofence created by default. The geofence will surround your home address, and the exact location can be updated during the setup for Places.
