Geocode location and device tracker

Configuration
1

Hi,

I have been reading many posts about geocode location and device tracker to make mine work (without re-installing the app).

In my case “device tracker” only works if the geocode location is activated. As soon as I deactivate it, the tracker stops updating.

Is this behaviour normal? From what I read in other posts the two things should be independent. Any way to decouple them?

Follow these steps

Hi,

I did follow those steps, it was one of the first resources I found.

It is strange, I tested for days without success, device tracker was not working. I activated the geocode and everything started working.

This morning I deactivated the geocode location… And now the device tracker.

After you followed the steps what do the history logs that were mentioned look like?

I’ll let you know soon since I have to go through it once again… Device tracker stopped working this morning. I think this is due to android 15 update :frowning:

It is funny because android tells me home assistant access the location of my device, but the entity is not updated.

EDIT: it is not due to android update, I don’t know why it stopped working…
