This platform allows you to detect presence using [Locative](https://my.locative.io/). Locative is an open source app for [iOS](https://github.com/LocativeHQ/ios-app) and [Android](https://github.com/LocativeHQ/Locative-Android) that allows users to set up a `GET` or `POST` request when a geofence is entered or exited. This can be configured with Home Assistant to update your location.
To integrate Locative in Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: locative
```
Install on your smartphone:
- [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.locative.app)
- [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/geofancy/id725198453)
To configure Locative, you must set up the app to send a `GET` request to your Home Assistant server at `http://<ha_server>/api/locative`. 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). When you enter or exit a geofence, Locative will send a `GET` request to that URL, updating Home Assistant. You are not able to specify a device name in Locative. Instead, you will need to look in your known_devices.yaml file for a new device that Locative will have created on it's first `GET`. If you had been or are using Owntracks as well, you will need to update the device name used in the Owntracks setup with the name that Locative generated.

You must have the [Locative component](/components/locative/) configured to use this device tracker.
</p>
When you enter a geofence, your location name in Home Assistant will be set to the name of the geofence in Locative. When you exit a geofence, your location name in Home Assistant will be set to "not home".
