IFTTT Detected in not working

I use IFTTT to action when people arrive & leave the house so that I can action certain other things automatically and stop things automatically.  For example, my son (who's 16) is incapable of turning the lights off.  So When he leaves the house, using IFTTT > Fing "This trigger fires when a user is no more detected nearby."  then I run a command and it turns the lights off, and the power to his XBOX. 

The problem that I have found are:
1. When I run the blocking schedule (I turn his devices off after a specific time at night), his device is no longer on the network and the IFTTT is triggered
2. If he turns off wifi, the same thing happens.
3. If i'm not connected, even though the trigger is "This trigger fires when someone of a user group is detected in or nearby your network." I have also noticed that this happens with me, my device disconnects from the wifi say due to being in the garden and the signal is weak, so the phone (Android) will twitch to mobile signal.

    So I’m assuming, the answer is that it’s broken then? Great 😡
    But the fundamental question is that the devices are not being detected in the digital fence, when Wi-fi signal is weak Or being blocked on schedule so are showing as left.

    Hi @GuyR welcome to the community and thanks for asking your question.
    We have information regarding IFTTT located here.  In short:
    (Quoting @Robin from this thread)
    "To update: Fingbox support to IFTTT is currently on hold; we are discussing the integration with several partners in the Smart Home integration arena and we intend to resume it along with new functionalities. Pre-existing IFTTT integrations are preserved, but at this time we cannot activate new connections and applets."
