For example, there are apps like [Geofancy](https://my.geofancy.com/) that can send a request to a given url based on geolocation / iBeacon presence.\r\n\r\nHaving a generic entity having the STATE_HOME / STATE_NOT_HOME states would be the most simple solution since then a POST request to /api/states/<entity_id> could be made."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/balloob/home-assistant/issues/comments/96686208","html_url":"https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues/103#issuecomment-96686208","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/balloob/home-assistant/issues/103","id":96686208,"user":{"login":"wind-rider","id":3463496,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3463496?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider","html_url":"https://github.com/wind-rider","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/wind-rider/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-27T14:56:36Z","updated_at":"2015-04-27T14:56:36Z","body":"It would be pleasant if the device_sun_light_trigger could also be used with manually-created entities, instead of depending on the device_tracker"}}
