+title: "Device tracker deprecations for 2022.9"
+---
+
+For Home Assistant Core 2022.9, we have deprecated the `device_tracker`
+`SOURCE_TYPE_*` constants.
+Use the new [`SourceType`](/docs/core/entity/device-tracker) enum instead.
+
+Deprecated constants:
+
+- `SOURCE_TYPE_GPS`
+- `SOURCE_TYPE_ROUTER`
+- `SOURCE_TYPE_BLUETOOTH`
+- `SOURCE_TYPE_BLUETOOTH_LE`
