The open source software OwnTracks sends the JSON formatted GPS data getting from the mobile to the gateway by MQTT protocol. It is used not only to check the curent position of the registered member, but also to activate or deactivate automation rules when a member is inside or outsite of the setting areas.

For instance, activate the automation rules (making a call to a mobile or sending E-Mail when the motion sensor detected something) at the time of leaving home, and deactivate these rules at the time of coming back home(but activate other rules for turning on the lighting devices). You could also confirm the place where members stay in real time.
