The `google_maps` platform allows you to detect presence using the unofficial API of [Google Maps Location Sharing](https://myaccount.google.com/locationsharing).
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
You first need to create an additional Google account and share your location with that account. This platform will use that account to fetch the location of your device(s). You have to setup sharing through the Google Maps app on your mobile phone. You can find more information [here](https://support.google.com/accounts?p=location_sharing).
This platform will create a file named `.google_maps_location_sharing.cookies` where it caches your login session.
<p class='note warning'>
Since this platform is using an unofficial API with the help of [locationsharinglib](https://github.com/costastf/locationsharinglib), Google seems to block access to your data the first time you've logged in with this component.

This issue can be fixed by logging in with your new account and approving your login on the [Device Activity](https://myaccount.google.com/device-activity) page.
