Hi,
I’m a bit confused over the implemtnation of Traccar in HA and i’m hoping someone can fill in the gaps for me.
So far as i’m aware there are two things I need to consider.
- The Traccar Integration
This will allow me to use a Traccar Client on a device such as a mobiel phone and have it directly report back to Home Assistant. I presume that to achieve this I have to use something like duckdns.org to ensure I have a DNS name I can put into the Server URL field in the client?
The documentation mentions something about webhooks but it doesn’t really expand on it more than that; can someone fill in the blanks as to what configuration is needed with the integration?
- Traccar Add-On
This is the bit which will capture the data from the integration and have it stored in a MariaDB. I managed to get this running but it doesn’t really achieve a lot without the integration working.
Grateful for any advice people can offer. Until now i’ve been using LIfe360 for location tracking but i’m always interested in comparing different mechanisms in case one offers more features over the other.
Thanks
Pete
