Hi, do any of the CALEX smart socket products work with GPS? I wish to set up a smart socket to only turn on when my phone is in the vicinity where a specific light goes on when I am nearby.

Hi Dan,
No, the smart plugs themselves do not have a GPS module. Moreover, the question is whether you would want to solve this via GPS at all. That would require fairly sophisticated GPS devices that can determine location to within a meter even indoors - and GPS is simply not the most appropriate means for that.
Based on your story, it seems to make more sense to solve this with a smart motion sensor. With that, you can set up via smart automation that as soon as motion is detected near the smart plug, it will automatically turn on for a certain amount of time.
With kind regards,

Thanks Brian.
Actually that’s a good idea!
Any you would recommend?
