GPS coordinates

Hello:)

I have two entities.

|sensor.elizabet_latitude|53.18373|friendly_name: elizabet.latitude|
| sensor.elizabet_longtitude|5.563591|friendly_name: elizabet.longtitude|

How can i make a device tracking from it? Or display it in the maps?

I hope anyone knows the answere

Greetings justin

Assuming there isn’t a device_tracker platform available that works for you (not sure where that data is coming from), you can use the device_tracker.see service in an automation, something like this:

- alias: Elizabet device tracker
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id:
        - sensor.elizabet_latitude
        - sensor.elizabet_longtitude
  action:
    - service: device_tracker.see
      data_template:
        dev_id: elizabet
        gps:
          - "{{ states('sensor.elizabet_latitude') }}"
          - "{{ states('sensor.elizabet_longtitude') }}"

Hi,

Thnx for you’re time.

It works:) , but if I understand this correctly, the coordinates are only changed when the automation is activated?
I have retrieved the information via scrape sensor from this site.

Yes, but the automation will be activated every time either of the sensors changes.

Yes You are right. I must have seen that!

Thnx for your help!!
