I’m aware of GPS Tracker for Dogs with Activity Monitoring but was hoping not to pay a subscription. Even if I did want to pay a subscription, I’d prefer to have something much lower power using Bluetooth since my use case is more about detecting whether my dog is home or in proximity to specific bluetooth beacons.
I currently use an AirTag, which is great given its very long battery life, but would require some hacking to use in Home Assistant for this purpose (IIRC I’ll need to run relay software on an always-on Mac, or risk getting my iCloud account banned by running it on a VM which I’d rather avoid).
Has anyone come up with something more basic which meets this need?
