Abstract
A system and approach using geofencing events for controlling temperature in a building for comfort of a user upon his or her arrival to the building. A decision may be made when to use a direct trigger by an incoming geofencing event and when to use a time of arrival prediction casted by an outgoing geofencing event. One or more geofences may be placed optimally based on the trigger decision and other aspects related to commuting patterns of the user.
