You openstreetmap’s is working as it’s updated with saying Home. Change over from using a nmap device tracker to a mobile one it will work as desired.
Ok but now the device is not at home and i get the same result
What you mean to change over nmap and using a mobile one?
Nmap is a router based scanner. It works by checking if a device is connected to a local network. You need a device tracker that updates its location from the device. You will need one of these device trackers
GPS logger
Locative
Owntracks
iCloud
Thanks… can you give me a tutorial step by step to get an API Key from Google? I tried to get one, but google says it’s invalid…
Is it possible to have the GPS (lattitude and longitude) from the address?
No it’s not possible. You can use a template sensor long with your deceive tracker to get the latitudes and longitude of your location.
Which is the meaning of ‘place’ option?
I forked your code and added a “Nearby” attribute using Google Places and have been using for a month or so. Only just noticed today that you’ve apparently already done that with the “Place” attribute. 
Place would display the name of a landmark or building nearest to you. For instance “350 5th Avenue” would be “Empire State Building”

Can you post the link to your fork? I’m interested in seeing how you added google places.
Haha! I’m an idiot. I went to github to grab the link and realized I’d already submitted a PR to your code that I’d forgotten about. My age might be getting the better of me. 
Note that I am a python newb and that was my first ever PR so I might have done it incorrectly.
@toddw65 I just tried it. I like the fact it tells me how far i am away from the location. I’m going to test it out for the rest of the day. Thanks for this, it looks like a really good way to add the place functionality.

Has the places been implemented? and If so Do I need to replace my existing google_geocode.py with a new one?
I am using the component and it works fine.
I try to extract the formatted address with the following template but it doesn’t work:
value_template: “{{ states.sensor.auto.attributes.Formatted_Address }}”
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks
@brugk000 this should work.
{{ states.sensor.auto.attributes[“Formatted Address”] }}
@Jtmoore81 it’s not implemented yet. I’m testing it at the moment. It looks very promising.
@toddw65 places works but the closest it’s managed to find was 1 mile away from me. Most of the time it was around 3 miles away. I found with Google’s geolocation api it classes streets and towns differently in some countries. I think it might be the same for places. I’m going to investigate and see if I can get it to find closer locations.
@toddw65 I spent sometime testing out different location searches. I can’t get the accuracy as good as it needs to be in my area. I live in a suburb but have shops near me. I’m finding that I can get locations that are around one mile away. How close are your results?
@michaelmcarthur works like a charm, great work
I had to change the double quotes to singe one’s.
value_template: “{{ states.sensor.auto.attributes[‘Formatted Address’] }}”
Generally it seems to depend on where I am. I live in the boonies where the closest business is miles away, but when my wife or I are in town, I seem to generally get reports that are in hundreds of meters or less.
I was in the process of trying to switch from Owntracks to Tasker for reporting and seem to have something messed up at the moment. As soon as I get that corrected, I’ll take another look and do some location & distance logging.
