No gate there. I'll look into Proximity, thanks.

You can also use a passive outer zone to cover "near the house", and use the fact that the app will report when it enters/exits zones. You could also turn on high accuracy mode while only in that outer zone.

I use high accuracy mode for a very nearly home trigger - planning ahead for if/when we get a smart lock
