Geofencing uses your smartphone's location information* to adjust the heating settings. It reduces the heating level from comfort or normal to the reduced level when you are not at home, and it increases this level back to your original schedule when you get home. This helps you reduce your energy consumption.
Geofencing can be activated by setting it up with the Geofencing assistant, which you can find in the ViCare app settings or on the Savings Assistant section of the “Discover” tab.
If you invite family members or friends to also use ViCare, the Geofencing feature will take this into consideration. This ensures that the temperature is really only reduced when no one is at home.
