[RELEASE] OwnTracks for Hubitat Presence Detection

Thanks, I'll see how to set that. I wonder how that setting changed. It has previously worked.

Found it, fixed it. Somehow the allowed IP address for Hubitat was removed.

It's Google.... I trust nothing that it says and blindly use everything it does. :joy:

Sorry if this is already somewhere in these hundreds of posts, wanted to ask is it possible to see my wife's location on my android mobile device in Owntracks, helps to see if she is at the school at pick-up time. If so how do I go about setting this up. If not is it only on the Hubitat device?

I believe in the owntracks app you should be able to click the menu (hamburger button on top left) click friends and you should see their locations. I think it also shows them on the map if you zoom around, I'm not sure as my wife won't let me put the app on her iPhone... so it's just me using owntracks for my own amusement

Yes, you can setup family members and see them on a common map.
I do this and add a tile to the Dashboard.


Tile:

You get this, wife is on top of me. :wink:

What @dnickel said, Greg. And of course you need to have the own tracks app on her device as well.

A question for @ipakula - Is the string malformed for me?

Background - I'm a HD+ user - I have had Owntracks beautifully functional on my Android emulator for a long time. thank you for that.
Recently, @jpage4500 released a Windows version of his tool and I'm excitedly migrating. The owntracks tile on the HD+Windows isn't working so I compared the HD+ Android and HD+Windows versions. The screen cap above applies to either! In other words, it works on HD+Android but not HD+Windows.
As I looked at it - it seems malformed in that the iframe src value - it has no quotes. then, there are a mix of single and double quotes throughout making it ... odd. Should I not be concerned about this? As I mentioned, this WORKS on the older stable HD+ Android, I'm just adopting his newly released HD+Windows and wondered if the web component is being more finicky.

It is definitely missing the quotes that is causing issues. But, I'm going to say this isn't a "me problem". :slight_smile: Looks fine when I inspect in Chrome. :man_shrugging:

Just a drive by to expound the greatness of the Owntracks app @ipakula

I had recently adjusted my WIFI SSID’s to allow me to have multiple bands but not loose a few legacy devices that required 2.4Ghz.
I went into Owntracks to check what WIFI was being used as a Presence backup detection and it clearly stated ‘Enter your 'Home' WiFi SSID(s), separated by commas. Used to prevent devices from being 'non-present' if currently connected to these WiFi access point(s).’

Only a really great developer can forsee needs. Owntracks features are amazing, and rock solid. Thank you for this tool.

I pushed a minor update to align with the new Hubitat “integrations” menu. Once you update, you will find the OwnTracks app in the “Integrations” tab and no longer in the “Apps” tab.

I did fix the nested expanding boxes on the main status screen as well that was annoying my OCD… :slight_smile:

I’m still in Apps not Integrations with the update. Maybe it takes a reboot?

Mine is in Integrations after the update. I refreshed the browser tab before I looked but assume a refresh may be required.

Might need a browser refresh/cache clean or something? It should just automagicaly appear.

@lpakula Getting this when turning on debug logging:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Handler method cannot be empty on line 1767 (method updated)

I tried turning it off and on again… and got the error a second time. Debug logging is working.

C7 hub, 2.5.0.159, Owntracks version 1.9.5

That is a weird one. Checking on it… Its the “auto disable debug” failing to schedule, but but nothing has changed there forever….

EDIT !
Sorry I don’t know why I posted the in German :wink:

I installed owntracks and it works with my Galaxy and my wife’s Iphone, but for some reason
our son’s IPhone doesn’t report the location.
What could be the reason ?
I installed the app on all phones the same way. That’s a screenshot from the HE app.
Femi is the phone that doesn’t report

Ich habe Owntracks installiert und es funktioniert auch gut mit meinem Galxy und dem Iphone meiner Frau, aber irgendwie krieg ich das von unserm Sohn nicht dazu die Position zu senden. Woran kann das liegen, ich habe die app auf beiden Iphones gleich installiert so sieht mein Hubitat Bilschirm aus. Femi is the phone that doesn’t report

Translation: I’ve installed Owntracks, and it works well with my Galaxy and my wife’s iPhone, but for some reason, I can’t get our son’s phone to send its location. What could be the reason? I installed the app the same way on both iPhones; here is what my Hubitat screen looks like.

I don’t know why I posted that in German, probably because I just got off the phone with my sister :wink:

Just pushed 1.9.6 that fixes this.

Can you check the the phone logs for OwnTracks? It should say why it’s failing to call home.
