Do you have an automation system and want your driveway lights to turn on when you arrive home?
If you have a micasaverde Vera3 system this utility is for you. If not, unfortunately, this app is not going to be of any use for you.
It will monitor the WIFI connections on your phone and will run scenes on your Vera when it detects that you just connected to your "Home network".
Because it only needs to find your local network to know you are home the impact on your phone battery is minimum and it is accurate.
This is the first version and has only be tested in one device and one network. Bugs are bound to exist. If you find any, please report on the web site http://crochik.uservoice.com - leaving a bad rating is not the best incentive to get things fixed :)
A few warnings:
1. Don't assume the scenes will be executed exactly once when you get home. When you are arriving home the phone may connect to the network for a brief time, disconnect and immediately connect again. The application tries to work around this issue but may not avoid it 100%
2. Don't overreach! Unlocking your front door automatically is probably a little too much! Keep in mind that for whatever reason your phone may disconnect from your local network and reconnect again - It can happen in the middle of the night!

When I coming home ready to unlock my door before i open it and I use new Apple airport extreme (2013) no more use pin number or nfc
by N####:
May I suggest adding two features: 1) prompting an optional confirmation "welcome home. Shall I unlock the door for you?" And 2) adding access to geolocation history to make sure the door is not unlocked when the phone temporarily disconnects. With either 1 or 2 the app would be do much more usable!
