Hi

I have this up and running and monitoring the location of a Teltonika LTE Router and a Iphone using the traccar client.

The devices show up on the HA Map and update accordingly.
However there is nothing in know devices list. How can i link the devices to known device so i can give custom name etc. an example would be ideal if anyone can post one.

Thanks

184

You can add the Traccar devices manually in the known_devices.yaml… works for me.

185

example tracker in known_devices.yaml

nomad:
hide_if_away: false
icon:
mac:
name: nomad
picture: /local/bike-ride.png
track: true
vendor:

186

Thanks, i realised my known_devices file was not writable, working ok now and its automaically populating it.

Hi All,

I have the following error appearing in my log when trying to add this component:

Error setting up platform traccar

Can someone help?

Thanks

ok solved this by following these steps as laid out above in reply #128

Hi,

This is awesome! Thanks! I just wanted to check something. I am trying to get the speed and the total distance as entities in HA. I have created a template sensor as follows but can’t seem to get it working… am I on the right track or totally off the mark?

golf_speed:
  friendly_name: 'Golf Speed'
  value_template: '{{states. sensor.device_tracker.golf.attributes.speed}}'
  unit_of_measurement: mph

golf_odometer:
  friendly_name: 'Golf Odometer'
  value_template: '{{states. sensor.device_tracker.golf.attributes.totalDistance}}'
  unit_of_measurement: miles
190

Solved. Removed “sensor”…

191

Anyone get this working on Hassio?

192

Mine is working just fine… what is not working for you?

193

Was able to get this working in Hassio, thanks.

194

Working great here. Thanks!

195

I set this up and everything appears to be working except the totalDistance parameter is somehow coming over incorrectly. In traccar I have 55423.01 mi for totalDistance, but in HASS it shows totalDistance: 89194719.17.

I’m not sure why… has anyone else seen this or know what might cause it?

This is how I have the sensor defined.

mini_odometer:
friendly_name: ‘Mini Odometer’
value_template: ‘{{ states.device_tracker.mini.attributes.totalDistance }}’

196

Disregard the previous question. I figured out the traccar api is sending meters and I converted to miles in the template.

197

Great to see this implemantation! I allready using Traccar and tried your instructions above on how to make it work and i get this error:

@papakigr: I guess you didn’t add ‘http://’ to the URL in the configuration?

199

I have tried before and didn’t work.

I set it up again with this configuration:

device_tracker:

and this is the result:

Try this version:

Can’t edit the first post. This is the latest version. The one in de first post contains extra attributes that not all devices support.

That worked!!!

Thank you so much!
