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.

<p class='note'>
|
||||
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".
