The `automatic` device tracker platform offers presence detection by retrieving your car's information from the [Automatic](http://automatic.com/) cloud service.
## Setup
To use Automatic with Home Assistant, first you must [create a free development account](https://developer.automatic.com/). Automatic will generate a Client ID and Secret for you to use in your Home Assistant configuration. You will need to update your Event Delivery preferences to ensure Home Assistant can receive updates. On the developer page, under App Settings / Event Delivery, select "Websocket" for Event Delivery Preference. Next, specify the OAuth Redirect URL in the developer page. This should be configured to `<home-assistant-url>/api/automatic/callback`. (Example: `http://hassio.local:8123/api/automatic/callback`) Note that this URL only needs to be accessible from the browser you use to perform the authentication.
Home Assistant can also take advantage of `scope:current_location` if available. This will allow Home Assistant to receive periodic location updates during a trip. In order to use this functionality, you must request the scope for your application from Automatic. Once `scope:current_location` is available, change `current_location` to `true` in your configuration.yaml.
## Configuration
Once your developer account is created, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: automatic
client_id: 1234567
secret: 0987654321
devices:
- 2007 Honda Element
- 2004 Subaru Impreza
```
{% configuration %}
client_id:
description: "The OAuth client id (get from https://developer.automatic.com/)."
required: true
type: string
secret:
description: "The OAuth client secret (get from https://developer.automatic.com/)."
required: true
type: string
current_location:
description: "Set to `true` if you have requested `scope:current_location` for your account. Home Assistant will then be able to receive periodic location updates during trips."
required: false
default: false
type: boolean
devices:
description: The list of vehicle display names you wish to track. If not provided, all vehicles will be tracked.
required: false
type: list
{% endconfiguration %}
Home Assistant will also fire events when an update is received from Automatic. These can be used to trigger automations, as shown in the example below. A list of available event types can be found in the [Automatic Real-Time Events documentation](https://developer.automatic.com/api-reference/#real-time-events).
```yaml
# Example automatic event automation
automation:
- trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: automatic_update
event_data:
type: "ignition:on"
vehicle:
id: "C_1234567890abcdefc"
action:
- service: light.turn_off
```
<div class='note'>
You can obtain the correct ID for your vehicle from your known_devices.yaml file. Be sure to lower-case any letters contained in your vehicle's ID when using it in an automation trigger.

See the [device tracker integration page](/components/device_tracker/) for instructions how to configure the cars to be tracked.
