This application claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 63/037,053, filed on Jun. 10, 2020, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
This disclosure relates generally to location tracking services.
Many people utilize location-tracking services for monitoring their location, where the location tracking services can utilize one or more geofences that can trigger actions as the user crosses the boundary.
Techniques are described for utilizing tripwires to optimize tracking of a person they are arriving from a point of origin to a home enabled with home automation functionality.
More specifically, techniques are described for a tripwire-based geolocation system to generate and execute tripwires along a user's route, where an action to be performed by a sub-system of a home monitoring system can be executed based on a user crossing a tripwire along the pre-defined route. Estimated time of arrival can be used by a home monitoring system, for example, to engage home automation functionality (e.g., HVAC system, security system, appliance controls, etc.).
