# How do I create a GEOFENCE with PIXIE?

It's possible to create GEO FENCE events using the PIXIE PLUS App.

When using the PIXIE PLUS App you will also need  PIXIE G3 Gateway ( SGW3/BTAM)

This then provides access to a few choices of home assistants and cloud services which provide the internet connectivity for enabling GEOFENCING.

Typically geofencing is used to automatically perform tasks in your smart home based on your presence at home or lack of presence.

That is, are you Home or Away.

These are each setup as a ROUTINE in the cloud service / voice assistant App of your choice as detailed below. You will of course have to have your PIXIE PLUS Home LINKED to whichever service your choose for your geofencing.

 

## Which Services Offer Geofencing?

Its possible to setup GEOFENCING events with Amazon Alexa,  Google Home Assistant, Samsung Smarthings and IFTTT.
