The `google_maps` platform allows you to detect presence using the unofficial API of [Google Maps Location Sharing](https://myaccount.google.com/locationsharing).

## Configuration

## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
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).

|

1. 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).
|
||||
2. You need to use the cookies from that account after you have properly authenticated which you can retrieve with either [Export cookies](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/export-cookies-txt/?src=search) for firefox (make sure that "Prefix HttpOnly cookies" is unchecked) or [cookies.txt](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cookiestxt/njabckikapfpffapmjgojcnbfjonfjfg?hl=en-US) for chrome.
|
||||
- *Note:* Make sure to use the `.com` TLD (e.g.: maps.google.com), otherwise the cookie won't be able to provide a valid session.
|
||||
3. Save the cookie file to your Home Assistant configuration directory with the following name: `.google_maps_location_sharing.cookies.` followed by the slugified username of the NEW Google account.
|
||||
- For example: if your email was `location.tracker@gmail.com`, the filename would be: `.google_maps_location_sharing.cookies.location_tracker_gmail_com`.
