    Fluent App - Geo-Service Device Malfunction

    Example: Malfunction (Samsung SM-J327V)

    What is a Geo-Device?

    A Geo-Device is any smartphone running Android, iOS, or Windows OS with the Location Services function enabled in the Fluent app.

    What is a Geo-Fence?

    A Geo-Fence is a circular area defined by the user via the Alarm.com website or Fluent app. This area is taken as a reference to determine if the Geo-Device is inside or outside this area. Based on this, it is possible to create automation rules and reminders. Create geo-location rules.

    What is a Geo-Device Malfunction?

    The Geo-Service device in malfunction trouble condition indicates the Alarm.com servers have not received a location report from the Geo-Device (usually a cellphone) for a 24 hour period.

    Another common cause for a Geo-Service device malfunctioning is because the device may have been deleted but not completely removed from the account. The best way to clear a Geo-Service device malfunction is to completely remove the device from the account before attempting to reattach the device to the account.

    It is recommended to remove Geo-Devices that are not active or currently in use on the account in order to avoid Geo-Service device malfunctions. For more information about how to remove a Geo-Device, see Delete a Geo-Device.
