Can I use this, if I have an iPhone, to trigger actions on a server based on my location?

For example, “When I come home, fetch the latest electricity prices and notify me if I should plug in my Tesla”.

I tried that using Shortcuts, but they won’t run location based without confirmation. (There are some workarounds, but they, too, don’t work reliably in my experience.)

If you literally mean when you return home, I’ve been running Shortcut automations triggered by leaving home and arriving home, using the built in “My Home” triggers. They don’t require confirmation and as best as I can tell have been completely reliable.
