About
Traccar is modern GPS Tracking Platform, which is now available as an add-on and allows you to run your GPS Tracking software without any cloud.
Traccar supports more protocols and device models than any other GPS tracking system on the market, straight from your Home Assistant instance. You can select GPS trackers from a variety of vendors from low-cost Chinese models to high-end quality brands.
Traccar also has native mobile apps available for Android and iOS platforms so that you can track those as well. AND! With the Home Assistant traccar
component (introduced in 0.83) the data in Traccar will be sent back into your Home Assistant instance as well.
