thank you for trying :slight_smile:

i rebooted my machine and traccar device tracker stopped working which got me thinking :wink:

the user that you use in the device tracker must be a administrator in the traccar platform…
Do you use the admin user for the device tracker?
or is your user an admin?

23

Good point ! i just saw that username and password was totally wrong! Will correct my credentials and restart hass.

I now use the admin account. the standard :stuck_out_tongue:

We are agree that i use the webinterface port instead of app port right?

24

SO! now i insert my admin credentials … no ererors occur… will check for device :slight_smile:

25

SEEMS to work jihaaaa… Just status wont work… thats because we commented out those two lines ?

26

There’s just one thing… it creates a device in known devices like #‘1’#

27

could you try the latest version from my github?
it should just be one device in HASS per device in traccar.
i.e. device_tracker.1

28

there is only one device yes … what did uchange ? don wanna break things :stuck_out_tongue:

29

I only added the encoding as first line.

30

Yeah already saw this :wink:

31

Hi guys, is this component working as expected and will be available from official hass components ?
I am using API for fetching gps coordinates from traccar and showing it as google maps card, but I would like show position on map as other devices.
thanks

32

Hi.
For me its still working fine.
No plans on making it official hoewever. I lack the knowledge. My programming skills are basic

Download from github and drop the plugin in a custom components folder.

33

How much data does this use I want to get a cheap sim but need to know what stuff I should get for it, large data or large sms pack?
Thanks

34

@koen01 Your original link to AliExpress doesn’t work anymore but is it one of these.

If so what do you have to do to modify it to point at a different service, the one I linked to appears to be setup to work with TrackerHome. I would prefer to log to my own servers which I already do for my mobile.

35

Im not sure about how much data it uses. Depends on the tracker and update frequency I think.
500mb per month? I have no option to monitor the data use of my sim

36

Traccar forums is a good place to start. You normally config the tracker via sms command. The commands differ per type/protocol.

37

Does this work with hass.io, as I cannot get the custom_componets directory recognized.

2017-08-10 22:46:13 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] Unable to find component device_tracker.traccar

38

i’m not familiar with hass.io

do you have a custom_components/device_tracker/ folder in your config folder?

39

Yes, I created it. Followed your example.
the:
traccar.py
is in this directory:
\HASSIO\config\custom_componets\device_tracker

40

And the device_tracker.yaml contains this:

  - platform: traccar
    username: *******@gmail.com
    password: **************
    host: http://demo4.traccar.org:5055
