From 2587a74112afa7934f3c94a6d7368ccb3c5eccfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Filby Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2016 01:12:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] 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. --- source/_components/device_tracker.markdown | 13 ++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/source/_components/device_tracker.markdown b/source/_components/device_tracker.markdown index f65447717db..91f67ed880d 100644 --- a/source/_components/device_tracker.markdown +++ b/source/_components/device_tracker.markdown @@ -36,4 +36,15 @@ device_tracker: Once tracked, a file will be created in your config dir called `known_devices.yaml`.
