There are several benefits of allowing location services with the iDevices Connected app which allow you to take advantage of some offered features.
For iOS users with multiple homes, Home Switching allows your device to automatically switch to different homes as you near their location.
The iDevices Connected app can use your location to provide an estimated state energy rate and cost for Energy Reporting.
Additionally, when creating location-based automations like triggers on your iOS device, the iDevices Connected app will use your current location and allow you to activate scenes based on your location.
You can enable or disable location services on iOS using the steps below:
- Open your Settings app
- Scroll down and tap iDevices
- Set location to “While Using the App” to disable or “Never” to adjust location services
For Android, iDevices Connected uses your location during setup. Location is required for proximity pairing when setting up an iDevices product.
