I have a number of plugs which I use to control things using the timer function which until now has be all that I need.  But I now have a new requirement which I think I should be able to automate usinggeofencing, but can't seem to work it out.

 

My question is this

 

If I set up some timer settings so that the plug switches on and off to a schedule when I am home, I would like then like an automation to detect I am away from home and override the timer settings.

 

For example,

Plug comes on at 8:00am and off at 9:30am, then on again at 5:00pm and off at 7:30pm.

If I go out at 8:30, the plug should go off immediately, which I think is straight forward, but If I then don't return until 9:00pm, I don't want the plug to turn on for the 5:00-7:30 slot, but I do want it to come on at 8:00 the next morning.

 

Any advice on how to set up the automation for this would be gratefully received.

Smart action does not support controling plug's schedule feature. However, you can create some time-triggered automation instead of schedule, in this case, you can use geofencing to control the automation, e.g. disable (schedule) automation when leaving home and re-enable it when arriving home.
