I have a Samsung SmartThings system at home, and I update my "presence" for that with this process. If you want more detail on the SmartThings steps, let me know & I'll flesh those out a bit more.

So the idea is, I consider myself home if EITHER my WiFi connects, OR I'm within 120m of home. I consider myself departed only when my WiFi is disconnected AND I'm more than 400m from home. I don't want my presence to bounce if my WiFi cuts out for a minute or my phone's GPS freaks out (which happens from time to time). I don't have this controlling access (door locks etc.) yet - when I get a connected lock (which is on my shopping list :D), I may have to adjust a bit.
Thanks for this. I've used your method for several days and it's very reliable.

But I think Geofencing is a service that triggers an action when a device enters a set location

For Wifis if I go away from the wifi (office) it waits for 60 seconds, turns wifi off and asks me if I want the wifi. If I say yes it turns it on and connects to the strongest signal (I have 3 Wifis with no bridge so different information). If I say no or nothing it keeps it off.
I'm thinking of rooting my Note 8 soon so the phone and automagic has no restrictions and can turn data on when away from Wifis.
For Geofencing you can use WiFi, phone signal leaving the specific details (disconnect from specific towers), Bluetooth and map.
