Manage the Home and Away setting on your Meta Portal

The Home and Away setting allows your Meta Portal to use your mobile phone and Meta Portal locations to know when you're home and available to call. With this setting turned on, you'll only receive calls on Meta Portal when you're home. You can set up your Home and Away settings during initial Meta Portal setup, or from the Settings menu.

To turn on Home and Away:

  1. From Home on your Meta Portal, tap Settings.
  2. Tap the Privacy tab.
  3. Under Permissions, tap Home and Away.
    1. If prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to log in with your Facebook account.
  4. Tap Turn On Home and Away.
  5. Select your phone and follow the on-screen instructions to turn on Home and Away.

Notes:

  • The Home and Away setting must be turned on in order to use the Only When You're Home setting within your Incoming Call Settings.
  • To use Home and Away make sure you have the latest version of the Facebook app installed on your phone.
