Adding more detail about multiple trackers (#418)
I had to dig through forums to figure out that you just add multiple fields to the device to track it, though I am still not sure if OwnTracks and iCloud can be used on the same device. I figured it would be better to expand an example here.

Once tracked, a file will be created in your config dir called `known_devices.yaml`. Edit this file to adjust which devices to be tracked. Here you can also setup a URL for each device to be used as the entity picture and set whether the device will be show in the UI when in the away state.

||||
|
||||
Multiple device trackers can be used in parallel, such as [Owntracks](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/) and [Nmap](/components/device_tracker.nmap_scanner/). The state of the device will be determined by the source that reported last. Device tracker will look for global settings (track_new_devices, consider_home and home_interval) under the configuration of the first platform.

To add Nmap tracking just add the mac address to the OwnTracks or iCloud device `mac:` configuration. To use both OwnTracks and Nmap you could use the following example:
|

|
||||
```
|
||||
owntracksdevicename:
|
||||
name: Friendly Name!
|

mac: EA:AA:55:E7:C6:94

picture:
|
||||
track: yes
|
||||
hide_if_away: no
|

```
