Geofence adjustable perimeter
There needs to be the ability to set the perimeter distance for geofencing. A pre defined set perimeter is not flexable enough. I don’t want the alarm to set if I decide to go the the mail box with my phone which is outside the small pre defined geofence area. Yes I can move my house around in the set geofence, but it still isn’t enough. I should be able to set the perimeter to 300 meters or say 1000 feet. What ever I determine to be the right perimeter for MY geofence area. I can with my Insteon isy 994i smart home lighting controller so I know this is a fix that can happen in a future update.

Ours goes off just moving from one side of the house to the other, it doesn’t matter how we adjust the circle, it won’t cover what we need it to cover. They definitely need to let us make the circle bigger or smaller.

I'd also like to be able to resize the Geofence. At the moment the circle selects seven roads, three before our house and four after, and includes us if we're at the shop or the local park down the road and not at home. This isn't particularly useful as it means our security would be off while we are out. Why can't we reduce the size of the Geofence to only cover our road? I have the same issue with the front motion detection area not allowing the dots to get close enough together to only select the horizontal strip in front of our house and not the pavement after it too, as the dots have a min distance from each other. Countries other than the US have very different homes/yards.

This request is for Doorbells and Cameras, not Alarms. The geofence feature is unusable for me because I can't change its size. The default size is too close to my house in all directions. When I'm hanging out in my neighbor's yard on one size, or the field next to my house on the other side, or my neighbor's yard across the street, I keep getting noise notifications when I cross in/out of the geofence over and over again. I need to be able to set the size of the geofence to be able to use the feature.

Hello, I would like to suggest an upgrade for the geofence. Today, I try the function and the fence is really too big. The fence contains my home and other five building. I thing it is better to have users draw the fence, or make the circle increase/decrease. I'm sorry for my bad english, thank you [Screenshot_20210407-093645473_1|400x499](upload://1WvYfSdbVJBRudeL4H6sLg8e3vE.jpeg)
