Cool glad you looked into it. I had wanted this feature awhile ago just could not implement. Thank you for your contribution.
This was working perfectly yesterday but stopped updating at all this morning and the following error is shown:

A lot of location updates are sent into my HASS installation, is there some sort of rate limit imposed by Google which could stop it from working or is this error nothing to do with that. I can confirm that HASS is still showing the latest coordinates in the device_tracker sensors.
@stevenhorner Thank you for pointing this issue out. I have looked into it. Any requests up to 100 a day should be fine. Soon as a user goes above this it causes a latency delay created by google of up to 12 seconds for requests up to 350. Then I think they put a stop on your IP address. You can read more information about it here. I have noticed that when Iâm in my home zone the component continues to send requests to google Iâm working on an update to fix this which will reduce requests. When you say that your tracker sends lots of requests how many are you talking about? I could add in the ability to use an api key. This will allow requests up to 2500 a day and a quicker response time. Thanks again for pointing this out itâs a huge help to insure this component is stable for all users before itâs addition to home assistant.
@stevenhorner could you check this for me. Can you check what is returned by your system by running this command wget https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.748817,-73.985428 if you are running linux. If not open up a browser on the system that you are using and make the request and view the returning json. I would like to know if it has an error code. It is usually at the bottom of the file. Thanks

@rpitera everything looks good on your end. The 200 OK result is expected if everything is good. Iâm looking for something like 403 OVER_QUERY_LIMIT. Are you having any issues with the component?
I got this working yesterday, but today i get this on all 4 devices i run it on.

IndexError: list index out of range@mcfrojd I think you are having the same problem as @stevenhorner. Can you run
wget https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.748817,-73.985428 then reply with the results? Iâm expecting a 200 OK if everything is working or a 403 if there is a problem with usage limits. I would like to know if it is to do with usage limits. If it is Iâm going to add the ability to use an optional api key later on today. This will allow up to 2500 requests to be made per day.
@mcfrojd Can you have a look at the file it has created? Then look at the bottom of the file it should say "status" : "OK" If not could you show me what it says?
Ok that one says âover_query_limitâ.
I went and created a API key now, so i will be ready when this is added to your component

@mcfrojd Perfect! Its definitely too many requests. Iâm working on a fix for this check out my GitHub dev branch copy. Its not totally finished but you can use a api key with it. add it by adding api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxx to your sensor.yaml. Change the xxxxxxxxxxx to your api key. It should fix your problem. Thank you for your help it is a huge help.
Do i add the api_key like this on each of my sensors?
- platform: google_geocode
name: Matte Plats
origin: device_tracker.matte_location
options: street_number, street, city
display_zone: show
api_key: !secret hass_geocode_api
- platform: google_geocode
name: COD Plats
origin: device_tracker.cod630_location
options: street_number, street, city
display_zone: show
api_key: !secret hass_geocode_api
I did that and updated with your dev code.
But now i get this same error:

My secrets file have this:
hass_geocode_api: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Does it need âxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxâ or âxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxâ maybe?
@mcfrojd Your api key is fine. I know what the issue is. The api key is getting added but the component is using the same server as before and as you have already hit the limit so it wonât work. There is a different server that I can add that should resolve this issue but I wonât be able to add it until later on today. You can test it by using wget https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&key=YOUR_API_KEY Then check the file as before. If you could reply with the response code it would be greatly appreciated.
That worked fine.
Will the original server âlet me in againâ after a certain time?
If so i can disable the component for now and enable it again tomorrow.

}Another feature request just because I like to be a pita. Would there be a way to do display zone then formatted_address?
@mcfrojd I have made a change to my dev copy of the component give it a go. It uses the other server. you can keep an eye on how many requests it is making by using google api dashboard. This should fix your problem. Let me know how you get on? Iâll do a full release later on if it is working for you.
Still error with new dev code.

IndexError: list index out of range@mcfrojd Thatâs really strange. Can you try not using secrets and putting your API key directly in the sensor.yaml file and see if that works.
Back to the api key 
I wasnât sure how hard theyâd let you hit that, now we do. As said I only hit it once a day with Tasker just to track where I laid my head that night.
