Looks like ingress is dead since the 2021.7.0 update (external port works fine):

silvyana · July 13, 2021, 4:47pm

The same happens to me.
Any solution or comment, other than going back to previous versions.
Thanks

Good afternoon.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge of the forum language.
Translated with Google Translate.

What kind of tracker is used, what is its port and protocol? You need to uncomment the line in the configuration file with the correct protocol and port traccar.xml

I’m not sure if this is the correct configuration but works for me:

You have to set up a port for the web interface in the traccar server, on the configuration tab, at the “network” section, (not filled by default).
You have to open that port on your router.
Then you have to configure Traccar Manager to access to https://myname.duckdns.org at that port.

After a fresh HA install (rolling snapshot backup), where I should login, appears the following error:

“Invalid parameters or restriction violations”

I tryed to unistall and install the addon again, but it didn’t solve it.
Somenone know how to solve it?

fEnIo · September 11, 2021, 12:18pm

It’s currently broken and tracked under https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-traccar/issues/119
The only thing you can do right now is to stop using ingress. You have to manually set some port to access this addon.

Hi @silvyana , My answer was for the @Yassair question: "What URL should I put on my device to connect to my HA server with the Traccar Manager through duckdns? should I add a port?
Should I open ports on my router?"

In your case, it seems that your device are sending the data to the demo server, not to your own server. If you want to register data with traccar server on Home Assistant installation, then you have to configure your device to send data to your home assistant address, not the demo server adress.

If your device is a Traccar Manager android application and your home assistant is configured with duckdns, my replie for @Yassair is also valid for you, but if you are using another device and another public address then you have to extrapolate the solution to your scenario.

e-raser · December 18, 2021, 11:50pm

I have few very basic questions as I’m totally new to the game, highlighting the ones related to running Traccar as HA Addon. Maybe you folks can point me into the right direction.

I‘m looking for good GPS tracker devices. All small and cheap, one for a motorbike being powered by its battery and one for a electronic bicycle being powered by a local/separate/own battery. No idea where to start looking for. Is every GPS tracker able to work with Traccar?
Do all GPS trackers need a SIM card with a data option for sending positioning data?

3. HA: on Quick Start - Traccar I read one should use a public IP address (which my HA server does not have) for the own server to be configured in the GPS trackers. Is this a general limitation of Traccar or does it depend on the GPS tracker being able to work with domain names (like myhomeassistant.duckdns.org)?

Hi @silvyana . There are two diferent things:

One thing is configure “Traccar Manager” to access web interface of traccar server.
And other thing is configure “Traccar Client” to send data to the Traccar Server.

For the second thing you don’t need to configure a port for the web interface, also, you don’t need to configure a device_tracker in configuration.yaml.

To send data from Traccar Client to Traccar Server I have configured my “Traccar Client” to use the server URL like this http://myserver.duckdns.org:5055 (I have duckdns installed and configured in my home assistant). The port 5055 is the port used by “Traccar Client” devices. And I also opened this port in my router.

(Other GPS devices use other ports ant you must known wich port use your GPS device and allow it in traccar xml configuration file).

XauMasala · December 21, 2021, 12:10am

Hi @e-raser, I found very useful this spanish page: Modelos de trackers – Mundogps.org

You can use a SIM without data and query possition by send and receive SMS, but this is not a goog idea for real-time positioning.

And yes, I think It is necessary to have a public address because GPS device must known where to send the data.

silvyana · December 21, 2021, 10:08am

Thank you very very much.

I will try to assimilate everything you have told me and implement it.

I use an iPhone 7 and Home Assistant is installed on a Raspberry Py with the Hassio Operating System.

Hi,
Can you help? I’m trying to connect my HA to my add on traccar which is functioning and showing my trackers. I get the following error:


2022-01-12 12:27:43  WARN: A servlet request to the URI http://backend/api/session?_dc=1641989986540 contains form parameters in the request body but the request body has been consumed by the servlet or a servlet filter accessing the request parameters. Only resource methods using @FormParam will work as expected. Resource methods consuming the request body by other means will not work as expected.

Any ideas?

Wingnut · February 3, 2022, 4:18pm

For a while now when I try to run Traccar in HA I get the message “HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type - NotSupportedException”. In another thread it seems to be resolved by updating to at Traccar V 0.14.0 whilst mine is still 0.9.0! I’d like to update but I’m getting the warning “You are running Home Assistant 2021.12.10, to update to this version of the add-on you need at least version of Home Assistant” [sic]. Should I just ignore it and hit Update?

dbrunt · February 4, 2022, 8:32am

I’m running Home Assistant 2022.2.1 and Traccar 0.15.0. Any reason for not being on current version?
