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`.
