+
+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.
