OwnTracks is a free and open source application that allows you to track your location in Home Assistant. This is a platform that supports OwnTracks via their HTTP publishing method.
|
||||
|
||||
To integrate Owntracks tracking via HTTP in Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
device_tracker:
|
||||
- platform: owntracks_http
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For configuration options and usage instructions, read the documentation for the [OwnTracks platform](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/).
|
||||
|
||||
## {% linkable_title Configuring OwnTracks to submit data via HTTP %}
|
||||
|
||||
Open OwnTracks and go to Connection preferences:
|
||||
|
||||
- Mode: Private HTTP
|
||||
- Host: <Home Assistant url>/api/owntracks/<your name>/<device name>
|
||||
- Identification: turn authentication on, username `homeassistant` and password is your API password that you use to login to Home Assistant.
|
||||
|
||||
Host example: If I host my Home Assistant at `https://example.duckdns.org`, my name is Paulus and my phone is a Pixel I would set the host to be `https://example.duckdns.org/api/owntracks/paulus/pixel`. This will result in an entity with an ID of `device_tracker.paulus_pixel`. You can pick any name for the user and the device.
