# Geofence

Geofence functionality allows the creation of virtual boundaries, or geographical areas, that devices can detect when entering or exiting. These Geofences are fundamental for location-based automation and monitoring, enabling enhanced control and responsiveness across the platform.

### Geofence can be applied at different levels.

* ***Geo-fence Alarm Rule*****:** Trigger alarms when devices enter or exit a predefined area.
* ***Adaptive Configuration Rule*****:** Apply specific configuration changes to devices based on their location relative to a geo-fence.
* **Configurations:** Used in Time-Driven Configurations to activate or deactivate settings based on geo-fence areas.
* **Device Grouping:** Automatically include devices in groups based on their location within a geo-fence.
* **Dashboards:** Visualize device locations and movement within geo-fenced areas using map widgets.

Geofences are intuitive to create and manage, ensuring seamless integration with the platform's rules, configurations, and monitoring tools.
