What is Location Awareness and how do I set it up?

Location Awareness will send the parent notifications when a shield enters or leaves pre-selected locations

The alert will prompt a notification to the web dashboard and to the Parent app, when a shield's device is within 150 Meters (approximately 500 Feet) of the set location

To use Location Awareness first make sure your shield's device is sharing location.  

It is also recommended to enable Notification messages to receive the alerts on the parent device.

  1. Open the Canopy app or web Dashboard, select a protected device profile from the list and Open device settings, select Location Awareness.

  2. Toggle the button to enable the feature, and tap Add new location. 
  3. Type in the address and give the location a name, this will be used to alert you when the protected device reached this address. Tap Add Location.

  4. The new location will appear in your preset locations to view, edit or remove.
