One of the biggest problems you're going to have with this is that even though Wifi is a big battery hog, constantly refreshing geolocation is an even bigger battery hog. While I don't have an application that can do this, my inclination would be to use something along the lines of Bluetooth proximity devices, possibly along the lines of two proximity devices along your path to the exterior door. When the proximity devices sense in one direction, you set one state, while if the proximity devices trigger in the opposite order, you set the opposite state.
Alternately, you could use a state table whose values were triggered on/off either by a code entered into your desk phone, your cell phone (with an appropriate password), or even by time-based signals (think cron job).
