A graphical user interface allows a user to input/alter a particular route and define an action to be executed by a subsystem, e.g., HVAC, lighting, security, etc., of a home monitoring system. An amount of time for the subsystem to execute the action is determined and multiple tripwires are defined along the user's route. At least one of the multiple tripwires can be a trigger to execute the action for the subsystem, e.g., to turn on/off lights, ramp up/down a climate control setting of the HVAC system, or the like. Each of the tripwires is a geo-located region on the user's route, e.g., a line, oval, or other shape, that is well-defined and localized to the user's route.

Home 106 can have one or more users 102, for example, a homeowner, a resident of the home 106, a visitor to the home 106, an employee of the home 106, or the like.
