Hi,
Has anyone played around with Geo Fencing and Loxone?

Hmmm... it is good idea to have it in loxone. 
Do you try to contact loxone directly ?

(I know about thermostats which use it)

I have come come across this article http://www.loxwiki.eu/display/LOX/Anwesenheit-Erkennung+mit+Bluetooth+%28BLE%29+und+G-Tags 


Would be interested in working with someone about this project, It is now full GPS but would be good for making the home smarter as it will know when someone is in the house. Also I see a use for this for my dog so I know if he has left the house.

This isn't quite geo fencing but if you can detect presence of family members using their phones.

1. Setup your home router to give family phones static ip addresses.
2. Use the ping block so that when the phone is on the wifi you know they are home.
3. Wire up actions based on that.

NB some phones may switch off wifi when in active.

This area is ripe for a 3rd party app

Just found an alternative. If you have find friends on an apple device you can set up notifications to go to an email address. The email address could then be monitored for events such as x left the house, y is at home.
