Map Events

Configuration
1

Hello!

I am looking to use the map, and HA zones to display events using the HA map page, is this possible?

To clarify, I have a 911 events feed (unfortunately not a stable API but that is a secondary worry for now), and I want to plot each event on a map, filtered by area (HA zone) and maybe trigger an automation depending on some criteria. The tricky part is that items should go away after some period of time.

I see I can add things to the map using device trackers, but is there another way to display something on the map or check if it is in a zone?

Thanks!

Essentially you can display any entity that defines latitude/longitude attributes on the map. Integrations that define geolocation entities have been designed to be transient entities that are placed on a map. There is a geolocation trigger that can start an automation when a geolocation entity enters (appears in) or leaves (disappears from) a zone.
