Lovelace map card not displaying geocoded entities

[HillNet]

Hi all,

I decided to do a fresh install of home-assistant. Prior to this I had the Lovelace map card showing geocoded entities and history with no issues.

Now on my fresh install I can’t.

I have:

• Remote control activated (Nabu Casa account)
• Both the Android and iPhone companion apps installed and geocoding my location
• Double checked the geocoding in the States tool
• The mobile_app listed in configuration.yaml (using config: not default_config:)

The map card config is:

default_zoom: 15
entities:
  - entity: sensor.hilite_geocoded_location
  - entity: zone.home
geo_location_sources: []
hours_to_show: 24
title: My location
type: map

In my haste I guess I have missed something, but if anyone has any thoughts I’d like to hear them.

Thanks team.

Did you fix this?
I am having issues displaying geo locations also

[VladoPortos]

Any luck?, I have the same issue. Phone is sending location OK, but I can’t display it on map.

[petro]

map needs entities with latitude and longitude attributes

[VladoPortos]

Hi Petro, I’m using the sensor from Home Assistant app, I did enable it to send my geo location and when I look into that sensor data in Attributes there is Longitude and Latitude.

[petro]

that’s interesting, my geocode location sensors do not have a latitude and longitude attribute. Can you post a screenshot of yours in the dev tools → states page? I’d be willing to bet that they do not have these attributes. The attribute needs to be exactly latitude and longitude and both has to have a value. It cannot be the location attribute with a comma separated list.

[VladoPortos]

I had to redact some info but the numbers are there

[petro]

and is Latitude the same as latitude?

[VladoPortos]

Well technically no, but how can I change it ? Seems to be hard coded on app side

[petro]

You’ll have to make a template sensor from that using those attributes.

template:
- sensor:
  - name: xyz
    state: "{{ states('sensor.my_geocoded_location') }}"
    attributes:
      latitude: "{{ state_attr('sensor.my_geocoded_location', 'Latitude') }}"
      longitude: "{{ state_attr('sensor.my_geocoded_location', 'Longitude') }}"

then use that on your map

[VladoPortos]

Thats fantastic, thanks 100x

[petro]

no problem

I’m very new to HA and I’m having issue making a template sensor.

Do I put this in sensor.yaml?

template:

• sensor:
  • name: xyz
    state: “{{ states(‘sensor.moto_g_power_geocoded_location’) }}”
    attributes:
    latitude:"{{ state_attr(‘sensor.moto_g_power_geocoded_location’, ‘Latitude’) }}"
    longitude:"{{ state_attr(‘sensor.moto_g_power_geocoded_location’, ‘Longitude’) }}"

Then, do I do with configuration.yaml?

Thanks for your help.

[petro]

it goes in configuration.yaml, and it will only work if your geocoded entities have those attributes. For example, my geocoded entities have different attributes.

[tryingbe]

I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you said.
This is what shows up when I use the template under developer.

[petro]

I think you should spend some more time learning what each keyword I said means. These are basic fundamentals of home assistant.

If you take the code I produced above, copy and paste them into configuration.yaml, then put your entity_id in the correct spots in the code, it should work. But this will only work if your geocoded entity has the attributes that are used in the code.

[tryingbe]

Basics fundamentals of home assistant is a cliff dive for some of us without the in depth programing background. I know the basics of C++ but I feel like I’m on a tricycle trying to learn the control of a SpaceX rocket.

Any further assistance or direction would be much appreciated.

[tryingbe]

This is the result I get when I try to restart with above configuration.yaml

[petro]

That’s not the code I posted, you altered it. Check my code against yours.

[tryingbe]

Sorry, here it is.
