Device_tracker in 0.94 configuration

Configuration
1

Hi all,

regarding: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/06/05/release-94/
I would like to configure hassio so it discovers my devices again.
I’ve read since 0.94 it no longer uses “known_devices.yaml” but I was unable to find any examples or info on how to configure my devices in 0.94

Before I had this in my configuration.yaml:

device_tracker:
  - platform: gpslogger
    consider_home: 80
  - platform: bluetooth_tracker
    interval_seconds: 30
    consider_home: 60
    track_new_devices: yes
  - platform: nmap_tracker
    hosts: 192.168.1.0/24
    consider_home: 340
    interval_seconds: 5
    exclude:
      - 192.168.1.62
      - 192.168.1.16
      - 192.168.1.27
      - 192.168.1.56

I now removed the gpslogger platform as from my understanding this is no longer needed.

I would like to track wifi devices, bluetooth devices and use gps logger. Can someone guide me in the right direction ? I’ve looked at “identities register” in the hassio settings but coudn’t figure out how to ad these.

thanks in advance.

To setup gpslogger, you need to add it in the integrations page. HA should have discovered it so you can click on it and get the webhook url to add to the gpslogger app

Great thanks. And how about the nmap en bluetooth devices? Ty

Not sure about nmap (no mention of any change in the release notes for 0.94 that I can see) but I just left my BT ones configured as before, as well as my ping device trackers. Might need to delete the gpslogger entry in known_devices.yaml as well if it is there.

I figured out what whas wrong, I was under the asumption that these trackers also broke
but because I deleted my known_devices.yaml in the process of trying to fix my gpslogger, it removed all the coresponding icons making my lovelace card “connected devices” empty as it only shows the icons, not the name or state. It’s all working now, thanks for your input Holdestmade!

If someone runs into the same problem when updating to 0.94 with gpslogger and their battery status not showing up, the attribute name has changed (see below).

It used to be:
states.device_tracker.op5.attributes.battery

but now should be:
states.device_tracker.op5.attributes.battery_level

Please note that the version is 0.9.4!

Actually I was wrong too, shows how easy it is. Should be 0.94.

Anyway, for posterity, someone may search for 0.94 one day and getting it right helps those searches.
