Does anyone know how to get to the mqtt setup on the Owntracks IOS app?
All i can get is Public Mode.
Pretty sure I used the booklet in the owntracks website
It is in the settings on the ios version in the app from memory - it takes a few clicks to dig down to it.
Make sure you can access your mqtt server from outside your network first!
It does look like the HASS site has lost a little of the getting started stuff for owntracks that was there before, however the owntracks site should give you the information.
This video might help; itās how I set mine up. Granted Iām using and Android and CloudMQTT but watching it may reveal something.
(I categorized your post and edited the title for clarity and to help you get a better answer.)
Thanks Robert. I got owntracks working on my Android tablet. That was easy. Just not the IPhone. Thereās no way in the app I can find to switch to private mode
I found this:
Click the āiā top left, then settings. Click the word āPublicā next to āModeā, you should then be able to cycle through the options.
Far from user friendly, but I think this is how you change it.
And if you click on the word āPublicā in Public Mode does it change at all? The thread I found this in mentioned it as āa hidden menuā.
Oh crap. I was clicking on the āiā and not Private. Man I feel bad.
As long as it worked - donāt. Thatās all Iām concerned with. LOL
Its all good now. Thanks
Now I just have to figure out how to get my Iphones on the HA map.
Do they show as device trackers? Are they in the known_devices.yaml file? Is tracking turned on there?
Thatās the first couple of things that come to mind. But remember Iān iOS guy.
Yes they do. Except I have two entities of my Tablet know. lol
Just a heads up since not everyone knows this or remembers. If you are home, you wonāt show on the map.
Ah yes I was just reading about that. Will see what happens when i head to work. lol
Thanks again.
