Geofencing Issues

Geofence Troubleshooting

Location Services

For geofencing to work properly, you must:

  1. Enable Location Services for the Sensibo App
  2. Set Location Services to “Always” (not “While Using”)
  3. Enable “Precise Location”

iOS Settings

On iOS devices, go to: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Sensibo

Make sure:

  • Location Services is ON
  • Sensibo is set to “Always”
  • Precise Location is enabled

Android Settings

On Android devices:

  1. Go to Settings → Location
  2. Enable Location Services
  3. Go to Settings → Apps → Sensibo → Permissions
  4. Enable Location permission and set it to “Allow all the time”

Common Issues

  1. Battery Optimization/Power Saving Mode

    • These features can prevent the app from running in the background
    • Disable battery optimization for the Sensibo app
    • Turn off power saving mode when using geofencing
  2. Location Accuracy

    • Poor GPS signal can affect geofencing
    • Make sure you have good GPS reception
    • Keep “Precise Location” enabled
  3. Network Connection

    • Stable internet connection is required
    • Both WiFi and cellular data should be enabled
    • Check your network connection if geofencing isn’t working

Additional Tips

  • Set your geofence radius to at least 100 meters
  • Allow several minutes for location changes to take effect
  • Keep the Sensibo app running in the background
  • Make sure your device’s date and time are set correctly
  • Restart your phone if issues persist
