MeshMonitor v3.4.0 introduces Geofence Triggers - a powerful new automation feature that lets you trigger actions when nodes enter, exit, or remain inside geographic areas.
What Are Geofence Triggers?
Geofence Triggers monitor node positions and automatically execute responses when location conditions are met. Define circular or polygon-shaped zones on an interactive map, and MeshMonitor will watch for nodes crossing those boundaries.
Key Features
- Flexible Zone Shapes: Draw circles (specify center and radius) or polygons (custom boundaries) directly on the map
- Three Event Types: Trigger on entry, exit, or periodically while a node remains inside
- Node Filtering: Monitor all nodes or select specific ones
- Dynamic Responses: Send text messages with tokens like
{LONG_NAME},{GEOFENCE_NAME},{DISTANCE_TO_CENTER}, or execute custom scripts - Routing Options: Send alerts to a channel or as direct messages to the triggering node
Use Cases
- Arrival/departure notifications for family or team members
- Asset tracking and delivery confirmation
- Proximity alerts for restricted or hazardous areas
- Ongoing presence monitoring in work zones
