Things to Remember

1. For best results, the minimum radius of the geo-fence should be set between 100 - 150 meters. When Wi-Fi is available, location accuracy is usually between 20 - 50 meters. When indoor location is available, the accuracy range can be as small as 5 meters. Unless you know indoor location is available inside the geofence, assume that Wi-Fi location accuracy is about 50 meters.

   
   

   When Wi-Fi location isn't available (for example, when driving in rural areas), the location accuracy degrades. The accuracy range can be as large as several hundred meters to several kilometers. In cases like this, you should create geofences using a larger radius.

2. Every 5 minutes, the device's location will be updated, and the location-based policy will adjust accordingly depending on the current location.

What's next?

Now you can set the location-based policies on the device page, making it simple to apply and manage policies based on the device's physical location for enhanced control and automation.
