Does Neura recognize the locations like Home, Office automatically or I the user has to enter them manually?

if my permissions are ... [ "physicalActivity", "presenceAtWork" ]

then do I need to have a location registered as "work" in order to have the app automatically trigger the physical activity events like "startedWalking"?

So basically Neura pulls out the sensor data from your user's phone and runs some machine learning algorithm on it. Neura tries to understand the semantic meaning of a location for your user for e.g. whether the place is your user's home/ office / gym.

Answering your question,

Neura can understand automatically the location for your user viz. Home, office, grocery store etc, but it might take up to 4-5 days for it to understand. If you need the results immediately, you can have the user enter his desired location details for e.g. 122 Smith Street is "Home", 7 Bond Street is "Office". Once Neura understands that a particular event has occurred, it will send you the details of that event via an api call in JSON format. You can also receive the event via a webhook.
