Geofencing Overview

Geofencing automatically triggers your shortcuts when you or other household members cross a boundary around your home. Leave for work and your Away shortcut runs. Arrive home and your Home shortcut runs — no tapping required.

How It Works

You define a circular boundary around your home. When your phone crosses that boundary, Mysa triggers the shortcut you've assigned:

• Leaving the boundary — Triggers when everyone has left (e.g., Away shortcut)

• Entering the boundary — Triggers when anyone arrives (e.g., Home shortcut)

Note: You can only set one boundary (your home). You cannot create multiple boundaries, such as one for work.

Before You Set Up

Set up your shortcuts first. Geofencing triggers shortcuts — if you haven't configured your Home and Away shortcuts, do that first. Shortcuts always run exactly as configured, so if a geofence triggers an Away shortcut that applies a setpoint, that action is sent to the device.

Enable location permissions. The Mysa app needs continuous access to your location. On your phone, go to Settings > Mysa > Location and select Always Allow.

Caution: iOS limits background location access, which can affect geofencing reliability. Enabling "Always Allow" may impact battery life.

Tip: If geofencing fails to trigger for any reason, opening the Mysa app will check your current location and apply the appropriate Home or Away shortcut.
