Getting Geohopper to work with XTension

[Gordon Meyer]

Hey, George -  So altho I don’t use this feature myself, I configured Geohopper to send a get request to my web server. I didn’t think it was working at all, because when I tapped “test” the webserver did not record any activity in its logs. Then I ran out of time, and left home for the evening. Out of curiosity I checked the logs this morning and found that Geohopper did correctly send the GET when I left and came back. So the lesson here might be that the “test” button doesn’t trigger the GET webhook. Maybe you need to actually exit the fence to see it work.  —Gordon

The rest of what you said IS all I’m doing, but Gordon hit it on the head that it is also necessary, after completing all the “Settings” to go back into Locations, select the “info” button on your geofence, select Web Services there (It’s also in “Settings,” and place a check mark next to your arrival/exit commands.

It may be the Test button just confirms that it can be communicate and I actually have to leave the geofence to make it talk to XTension. I’m going to be trying that in a moment.
