Hi Chris,
Location notifications are a special kind of notification called a local notification that MobiLinc fires when iOS tells MobiLinc about location information. The notifications for variables, devices, scenes, and programs use our cloud service, MobiLinc Connect to facilitate real-time notification of changes to your ISY that you are interested in.
http://mobilinc.com/features/push/If you aren't using MobiLinc Connect, the message title reads "MobiLinc Connect Required". If it doesn't say that in your version of MobiLinc, then that means you are running an old version of MobiLinc. Please make sure to upgrade to the latest from the app store, 4.00.21. This might impact what you are seeing in your other forum post about syncing.
