Just wanted to make sure you're aware of this new community Owntracks integration that was just released...It creates Owntrack virtual devices that track/report presence in HE via the Owntrack mobile app and an HE app. Very easy to set up if you don't find an easy path through the Recorder/Frontend forest.
Changes include:
- Operates as a background service
- Set the defaults that the Hubitat app is recommending for the first start.
- Reports back during a ping or manual location, regardless if the location accuracy is good, or if there is any location. The returned location has a timestamp of "0", and allows for a phone to register a heartbeat with the app.
- Adds in extra fields to indicate if the mobile app is in battery saver mode, the app is in restricted battery mode or does not have high precision which then gets displayed on each user's virtual driver. They also get displayed on the "friends" tile in the mobile app.
- Fixed the broken "delete regions" in Android 2.4.12.
- Monitoring mode button ('Play' symbol) has been disabled to prevent users from accidentally disabling the location updates.
Attributes available from the virtual Owntracks devices created by the app:
Not trying to take anything away from what you're doing, just wanted to make sure you were aware of this option.
