Traccar integration not working

Configuration
1

Hi All,

I’m trying to setup the Traccar integration with Home-Assistant. From HassIO i installed the traccar container, which is running fine (and my phone is reporting it’s location to it without issues).
So i configured it in my config :

  • platform: traccar
    host: 192.168.2.178
    username: ha
    password:
    ssl: true
    verify_ssl: false
    port: 8072

But for whatever reason it keeps on giving this error :

2018-12-12 09:10:44 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] Loaded device_tracker.traccar from homeassistant.components.device_tracker.traccar
2018-12-12 09:10:50 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker] Setting up device_tracker.traccar
2018-12-12 09:10:52 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker] Error setting up platform traccar

I’m sure the password is correct and the interface is reachable… how to get this to work?

Hi Dennis,

if I understand the documentation correctly, SSL is only working if you set the domain name as host, not the IP.

In your case, since the Traccar server seems to run on the local network, you can also try to disable SSL.

Mine gets stuck on the device saying awaiting update in Hassio. Traccar show device as showing location. Sometimes restart fixes othertimes not.
I am using IP address which does work - sometimes, will try to disable ssl
