|
||||
Install [GPSLogger for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendhak.gpslogger) on your device.
|
||||
|
||||
To configure GPSLogger, you must set up the app to send a `GET` request to your Home Assistant server at
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
http://<ha_server>/api/gpslogger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=%SER&accuracy=%ACC&battery=%BATT&speed=%SPD&direction=%DIR&altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activity=%ACT
|
||||
After the launch, go to **General Options**. Enable **Start on bootup** and **Start on app launch**.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
GPSLogger Settings
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
Go to **Logging details** and disable **Log to GPX**. **Log to KML**, and **Log to NMEA**. Enable **Log to custom URL**.

||||

<img width='300' src='/images/components/gpslogger/logging-details.png' />
|

Logging Details
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
Right after enabling, the app will take you to the **Log to custom URL** settings.

||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
Log to custom URL details
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
The relevant endpoint is: `/api/gpslogger`
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
http://[IP address Home Assistant]:[Port]/api/gpslogger?
|
||||
latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=%SER&accuracy=%ACC
|
||||
&battery=%BATT&speed=%SPD&direction=%DIR
|
||||
&altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activity=%ACT
|
||||
```
|
||||
Make sure to include the API password if you have configured a password in Home Assistant (add `&api_password=<password>` to the end of the URL).
|
||||
You can change your device name by editing "%SER" in this URL (e.g.: &device=user_devicename)
|
||||
Configure that options under "General Options":
|
||||
|
||||
- Start on boot: yes
|
||||
- Start on app launch: yes
|
||||
Add the above URL after you modified it with your settings into the **URL** field. Remove the line breaks as they are only there to make the URL readable here.
|
||||
|
||||
Set the URL under "General Options -> Logging details":
|
||||
- It's HIGHLY recommended to use SSL/TLS.
|
||||
- Use the domain that Home Assistant is available on the internet or the public IP address. Can be a local IP address if you are using a VPN setup.
|
||||
- Only remove `[Port]` if your Home Assistant instance is using port 80. Otherwise set it to 8123.
|
||||
- Click on **Parameters** in the app and you will see all available parameters for the URL. For Home Assistant only the above URL will work.
|
||||
- Make sure to include your [API password](/components/http/) if you have configured a password. Add `&api_password=[Your pasword]` to the end of the URL.
|
||||
- You can change the name of your device name by replacing `&device=%SER` with `&device=[Devicename]`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Log to GPX: no
|
||||
- Log to KML: no
|
||||
- Log to custom URL: yes and set
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
http://<ha_server>/api/gpslogger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=%SER&accuracy=%ACC&battery=%BATT&speed=%SPD&direction=%DIR&altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activity=%ACT
|
||||
```
|
||||
(be sure you include API password (`&api_password=<password>`) if needed, or you can also use HTTP Basic authentication `http://<username>:<password>@<ha_server>/api/gpslogger...`)
|
||||
(You can change your device name by editing "%SER" in this URL (e.g.: &device=user_devicename))
|
||||
- Log to OpenGTS Server: no
|
||||
- Log to Plain Text: no
|
||||
- Log to NMEA: no
|
||||
If your battery drains fast then you can tune the performence of GPSLogger under **Performance** -> **Location providers**
|
||||
|
||||
You should also tune GPSLogger performance to save your battery under "General Options -> Logging details -> Performance -> Location providers":

|

- Network: no
|

- Passive: yes

A request can be forced from the app to test if everything is working fine. A succesfull request will update `known_devices.yaml` with device serial number.
