When I add the% BATT in url parameter, as per instructions. I get error 500 and the log below:
my url: https://XXXX.duckdns.org:8123/api/gpslogger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=%SER&api_password=XXX&battery=�TT

I’m, trying curl (console), web browser and gpslogger test in app. all returns same error.

anyone to help me?

From the docs:

https://[IP address Home Assistant]:[Port]/api/gpslogger? latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=%SER&accuracy=%ACC &battery=%BATT&speed=%SPD&direction=%DIR &altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activity=%ACT

For Home Assistant only the above URL, as written, will work - do not add or remove any parameters.

I’m not sure which instructions you’re following, but they’re not the right ones.

yes initially I put the url as per the instructions of the component, but I was removing parameters to identify the error. and you are wrong that there must be all the parameters, because the url below works, but does not register the percent of battery.

https://XXXX.duckdns.org:8123/api/gpslogger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=%SER&api_password=XXX

4

the error occurs only when it has the battery=%BATT parameter

5

Weird. Mine is exactly as in the docs (well, ok, I replaced %SER with the string I wanted to identify the device as), and it works without issue.

What version of Home Assistant are you running?

6

same error =(

7

when I put full url:
attrs[‘direction’] = float(data[‘direction’])
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘%DIR’

Remove direction=%DIR:

I get the error:
accuracy = int(float(data[‘accuracy’]))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘�C’

remove accuracy=%ACC:
error:
attrs[‘speed’] = float(data[‘speed’])
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘%SPD’

remove: speed=%SPD
error:
attrs[‘altitude’] = float(data[‘altitude’])
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘%ALT’

remove altitude=%ALT
error:
battery = float(data[‘battery’])
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘�TT’

remove battery=%BATT

And finally work with:

https://xxxx.duckdns.org:8123/api/gpslogger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=%SER&altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activit=�T&api_password=XXXX

8

version 0.70, but this error
occurs in previous versions

9

I’d raise an issue. There’s something odd going on, since I don’t see it at all, and that way somebody will have a chance to find out what’s going on.

10

Thanks, but how do I raise an issue?

11

See the documentation here

I’m running HASS.IO 0.71.0. I was trying to configure gps logger but I get this error:

    Error handling request
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    ValueError: could not convert string to float: '�C'

I followed the guide (https://www.home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.gpslogger/ 4) and this is the url entered in the gpslogger app:

https://xxx.duckdns.org/api/gpslogger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=oneplus3&accuracy=�C&battery=�TT&speed=%SPD&direction=%DIR&altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activity=�T&api_password=yyy

What is the language of your smartphone?

14

My language is italian

I raise an issue, but did not find any error in the homeassistant. gpslogger is opensource, I’m thinking of checking the code to see if I can identify what it can be. I believe that in some language there are going to be invalid characters, as happened to me (in Portuguese)
