Nmap shows wrong location

Configuration
1

I’ve updated the coordinates in the configuration.yaml file, restarted, rebooted, and the map still shows me in London (I’m in the US).

What am I missing here?

2

Are you missing a sign on your lon/lat?

3

I have the negative on the long., but since the lat is positive, no, no sign on that one.

4

can you post the top part of your configuration.yaml where it sets your lon/lat?

5

homeassistant:

Name of the location where Home Assistant is running

name: Home

Location required to calculate the time the sun rises and sets

latitude: 35.777744
longitude: -78.635810

Impacts weather/sunrise data (altitude above sea level in meters)

elevation: 89

metric for Metric, imperial for Imperial

unit_system: imperial

Pick yours from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

time_zone: America/New_York

everything in your list needs to be indented a couple of spaces under homeassistant:

https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/basic/

yaml is VERY space sensitive.

7

It is indented… it was lost in the copy/paste…

8

apparently it takes a while for it to recognize my coordinates. I started it up, went and did stuff for a bit, then came back to it functioning properly.

9

Nope… still randomly decides I’m in London.

Try setting a zone

zone 1:
  name: Home
  latitude: 99.999999
  longitude: -88.888888
  icon: mdi:home
  radius: 500

Something in the inline documentation made me wonder if the long/lat in the config file is even associated with the map. It says it it’s used to determine when sunrise and sunset is.

11

Thanks turboc, adding the zone worked for me…

12

Glad it did. Kind of silly that you have to do that IMO. I would like to see the map have a default zone based on the long/lat in the config since the map is there by default even if you don’t implement zones for presence detection.

13

That worked. Weird… you would think since it’s part of the default settings it would be your actual “home”, and wouldn’t require a separate zone.

Thank you!

Update 0.37.1 to 0.38.1 smack bam middle of London, Zone doesn’t fix this???
I do live on main land europe so howto fix it, seen the fact that soon London won’t be europe anymore.

Surprise surprise, after three times writing zone in it and 4 restarts of service zone did the trick.

Thanks
