Thanks for making this app. It looks real nice. I currently use Profile Scheduler for this task but I'm always on the look out for something better. I have one quick question... what is supposed to happen when I leave a fence? I know you're working on something to specifically say but for now, what happens?
[App][4.1+][v1.1.0][May 29] Fences - Device automation made easy.

Right now nothing happens on exit. We only perform tasks on demand. Exit location is a trigger we are looking into adding for the next release. Then you will be able to set up actions for when you leave a location too!

Yes location is saved and is listed in the profile. As I told you before there is no issue of Lock as I tested in Map app and an other map app (Transit) and they get instant Lock on gps of my location. Even your app when I set the location it get instant lock on my position. But it dont activate the profile. It did eventually got trigger but after 2 hours :S Why it is not immediate ?
Same thing on my side. Here is what I did to test the location as a trigger.
• GPS (high accuracy), WiFi and mobile data enabled
• Actions: brightness max
• Trigger: location (where I am with a size of 500 M) - location appears in the list of the triggers tab.
• Settings: Max scan interval set to 30 seconds
The brightness don't change and I don't receive any notification.
Triggers aren't disabled in the settings.
EDIT
New test with "Power: plug-in" as a trigger and brightness & sync on as actions and it doesn't work better.
However the manual way works: pressing and holding a profile then selecting "Tigger profile".

I think some info is getting lost between us. Can you both PM me I'll help you work through whatever your having issues with.
Yes screen on/off and enable/disable Lockscreen are both in the road map. I'm not sure to which you were referring but they are both coming.
Super app 
From now this is my default profile app.

New feedback further to some tests and a discussion with Stephen.k.spear.
I did a clean install of my rom & apps to be sure that the issue was caused by Fences... but I was wrong. The location feature works as expected.
I have reactived somme location services and allowed location permissions.
So if you have any issues with the location feature (or other triggers) double check your settings & permissions first including the max scan delay into the app.
By the way the plug-in trigger works too.
We are opening up our Beta Program sign up now and be the first to get new updates!

it must need gps to be on all the times. right? if yes, then wont it be a battery hog?
P.S. I have not installed it yet but totally inclined towards it.
Great idea :good:
If you use a location trigger it will require GPS to be on. However the newer location apis are very battery friendly. Most of our users don't even see us in the battery stats page at all.

Is there any documentation anywhere of what the available triggers and actions are? Or am I expected to install it to find out what it actually is capable of doing?
A simple list in the OP would be very useful. We shouldn't be able to figure out if the app will be useful for us without having to install it first.

Again I disagree. We've made clear that we do plan on adding priority support at some point. I'm simply pointing out that just because you did something one way on Tasker or some other app doesn't mean thats how this app is supposed to work. Our goal was never to be a Tasker or any other app clone. If another app has everything you are looking for then why are you trying other apps out? Clearly something was missing or you won't be looking into other solutions. We've only been available for 3 weeks. So we would hope we would be granted a little leeway before being compared to app that has years of development under their belts. So before you go saying this is how so and so did it, so you are wrong for not doing it that way. Maybe give us a chance to figure out how we want to handle these type of issues.33Yes we are working on getting a new beta with new actions and Triggers out in the next couple weeks.3Hope everybody joined the Beta Program.
