Is possible to integrate in the attribute the current latitude and longitude? so is possible to to track it on a map

thanks

2

Would be possibleā€¦the problem is that you need to do some heavy scrolling to get your home zone in a visible scale.

3

I dont want to add it to home assistant mapā€¦ but I want to track the latidude and longitudine with the camera: component in home assistant an example is owntracks and gmaps integration

Can you please take a look at?

And comment or give feedback on the PR if needed. Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
So if show_on_map: True I can see ISS on the hass integrated MAP right?

If the show_on_map: false I can see the long and lat in the attributes?

6

yes

Yes, both values are added to the state attributes.

Is it possible to hide the sensor on the HA map but still show the location on the google maps side?

13

When I change the binar sensor to show_on_map:False or remove show_on_map completely I get this however if I change to true I get the correct screen but then am stuck with the icon on my HA maps.

Works fine on dev with the sample from the docs.

camera:
  - platform: generic
    name: ISS
    still_image_url: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.lat }},{{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.long }}&zoom=5&size=500x500&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:P%7C{{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.lat }},{{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.long }}
    limit_refetch_to_url_change: true
binary_sensor:
  - platform: iss
    show_on_map: False

I have my binary sensor yaml seperate from my camera yaml thus seperating the above config could this be the issue? Sorry to sound like a Noob!

17

I also got Map error on the top right with nothing.
Any solution?

I have the same issue where I get a google API error. I have an API key, and have the following in my camera.yaml file:

- platform: generic
  name: ISS_GoogleAPIS
  still_image_url: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center={{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.lat }},{{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.long }}&zoom=10&size=500x500&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:red%7Clabel:S%7C{{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.lat }},{{ states.binary_sensor.iss.attributes.long }}&key=SHHDONTTELLANYONEMYAPIKEY
  limit_refetch_to_url_change: true

I also have Camera and binary sensors separated, but Iā€™m not sure that would make a difference.

19

how you have generated the api key for google maps? I canā€™t found on https://console.cloud.google.com

once you are logged in, click ā€œselect a projectā€ (top left) and then create a ā€œNew project.ā€

create the project, then select it from the drop down at the top of the previous page. Then you can select Enable APIā€™s and Services (again at the top of the page) and enable the APIs you need.
