Reverse Geocode Sensor ("Places") using OpenStreetMap - custom component

Third party integrations
266

So far, I have not been able to get the correct locale from HA settings available to an integration. Additionally, it appears that the python locale may be grabbing the system’s locale rather than the docker’s locale.

Not sure it matters, but what type of HA install are you running (HA OS, Supervised, Container, Core, etc.)?
If you type locale directly in linux, what does it show?

Mine:

Moving this to a GitHub issue. Not sure how to fix this yet so I don’t want it to fall off my list.

270

There is a new Release 2.5.1, is it actually released?
Asking because my re-downloaded “manifest.json” shows “2.5”.

271

Is there a way to check if the current location is at a gas station?

272

You could go to a gas station and see what the place_type attribute says ?

273

Yes, v2.5.1 is released. I typically forget to update the manifest regularly so it is generally only updated for whole or 10th number increases (ex. to v2.6 or v3).

274

Agreed, place_type attribute:

As a result - users cannot be sure if they have the latest version.

Hi all,

I was using a version of this integration for about 7-8 months, it was working well. But I recently updated to the latest version and when trying to create a sensor, it says ‘No devices or entities found’.

Have tried completely removing the integration and re-adding, but same error. It seems to happen with different GPS tracker types.

The logs dont seem to have any errors relating to the integration.

Hello! Thanks for this great integration. I am using Places for some automations, but I was wondering is there a way to get the state from the sensor to show up in the person-card? Or rather if I could replace the device tracker form HA app with the one from places. Problem is that places only creates a sensor, and not a device tracker of its own. Anyone else been pondering with this?

278

@corvy Try in Person Cards - Show Off Yours. Lots of examples.

279

Places require an entity which keeps coordinates - like a person or device_tracker.
Your question is rather unclear - if you need to show a person or a device_tracker on some card, why not using THAT source entity?

280

Hello and thanks for responding. I guess my question is a bit ambiguous. I do have device_trackers today, but the problem is when my familiy is on the HA dashboad they look at the icon on the home-page to find out where “mom” is now.

That is mostly fine. But the status could be very misleading. Often it will say “away”, 4 hours ago. Even if the location is updated recently the status has not. So in my simple mind I wanted to use the sensor from Places to replace the status of the device_tracker, or create a custom card that achieves the same, but with status from places instead of the device_tracker from the HA companion app.

Make sense?

281

The simpler = the better.
Prefer to use Places only to get an address, for all other needs - using person/device_tracker.

282

This is fantastic and exaclty what I was looking for. Thank you!

One question: I have a tile now on my dashboard that identifies people and where they are. Right now, when I click it, I get the “more information” panel.

Is there a way to click it and it takes me to google maps with the address preloaded in?

283

You can call an “url” type action with a web link.
But this link is stored as an attribute. To use this attribute, you will have to use a template - jinja or JS, in a card which supports templates, like config-template-card, template-entity-row, button-card. Or a stock markdown card.

284

Hi,

When i add the map link to an iframe card it stays blank. To keep it simple for testing, i just copy the url from the attribute map_link. This is the case with each google maps link. I think it‘s a restriction by google. With OSM i had no success as well.

Can someone post a actual working solution to show the url in iframe?

Thank you
