Custom_component: PhoneTrack GPS device tracker

I believe nextcloud is around the corner / i see something in 0.108 release. Haven’t checked it though. To busy with mu other project.

@j1nx - thank you for this component! Are you still using it? I’ve installed it yesterday in my current setup and while it doesn’t throw any error, I cannot see any new entity or sensor or tracker (can I have an example of what the component should create?).

In the logs I cannot only see:
2020-11-18 12:04:08 DEBUG (SyncWorker_0) [custom_components.phonetrack.device_tracker] Updating devices None

during the first connection and then I can see a few
2020-11-18 12:09:08 DEBUG (SyncWorker_10) [custom_components.phonetrack.device_tracker] Updating devices 2020-11-18 11:09:08.860279+00:00

Which looks like it’s getting some information - but I cannot see it anywhere. Maybe it’s just that I do know what to look for? :slight_smile:

Not really using it myself anymore at the moment. My nextcloud crashed and haven’t found the “will” to start from scratch again.

Have a look at the forks, perhaps someone picked up the development.

Thank you @j1nx, I appreciate your answer - I did look at the other forks and noticed one that has got some recent development. In any case, the issue wasn’t with the components, as I forgot that I didn’t turn on the tracking of “new devices”…

So I can confirm that your component, as of version 0.117.6, works perfectly :slight_smile:

i am really glad that this still works 4 years later. But i have one issue/question:
when i integrate the entity in a maps dashboard-card, the live position gets updated with a big delay (up to 6min). The problem has to be in HA, no delay on the server nextcloud-map. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks a lot!

Hi there!

In the last months you users kept this component running by PR’s that I have merged. Thank you very much for that. Really appreciated.

As I do not use this component myself anymore; Is there any user/developer out there that would like to take this over? Happy to transfer this repo to anyone that is willing and able to give it the love it deserves.

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work on this integration!

I gave it a try but couldn’t quite get it working on my setup. That might be on my end, but it inspired me to build a new phonetrack integration.

This version supports UI-based configuration and includes a few additional options for customization. It’s also available through HACS for easy installation.

I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvements.

Thanks again,
Woulve
