And that would be port 8082 right?
you forward 5001 to 5001 on RPI and 8082 to 8082 on RPI
the 8082 you only need to forward if you want to access it from outside your network.
When I do that, all the errors are backā¦

Add it to the second line āidentifierā when adding a device
Hi all:
Thanks to koen01 for this great component!!
My environment is an Ubuntu 16.04 server, with Home Assistant, Traccar and many other pieces of software. My gps device is a Teltonika FM1204 reporting fine to Traccar since first time. After commenting this line
ā# āipā: position_id[āattributesā][āipā],ā
all went ok!!
Iām using a read only Traccar user to retrieve the data from it.
Thank you!!
Update: Well after a lot of failed attempts I discovered my device was reporting itās location fine as from last night. The reason I couldnāt add it was because it was allready been recognized by the Traccar server.
After changing my logon credentials back to my own username and password (instead of admin/admin) I finally see my device in the Traccar instance running on my PI. 
@koen01 Iām having problems with āaccuracyā:

KeyError: 'accuracy'Is the component expecting to recieve a value that is missing?
Fixed it by commenting out the following two lines:
# _gps_accuracy=position_id['accuracy']
# gps_accuracy=_gps_accuracy,Apologies @Bob_NL not been around for the last week and just seen you question but looks like you got it working. Be careful with the OBDII version just ended up with a dead car battery after it was left connected and car not used for 3.5 days. I have been intending to make a cable up which uses and OBDII extension and relay which only provides power to the tracker when the ingition is on preventing the car battery drain.

Thanks for the great custom component @koen01, I just started using the traccar android app on my internet-connected head unit in my car. Got it configured, and working (thanks to the comments on this thread).
Iām wondering, how would I use this device_tracker in combination with another device_tracker? The New known_device from traccar is identified by ā11578ā. Normally if 2 device_trackerās had the same name, or MAC addresses matched, it would recognize it as the same device. Iām not sure how to do that, with this. Any idea where this number (11578) comes from? Perhaps it could be set manually in the component, to match the name of another device_tracker? Thoughts?
Is there any way to get the current geofence as an attribute?
I have added battery level by using the example from above in this thread.
'batteryLevel': position_id['attributes']['batteryLevel'],
But i cant see in either xxxx/api/devices och xxxx/api/positions that the current geofence is reported.
Anyone know if you have to manually add something as a attribute in the traccar server?
I havent come around to understand the attributes or computed attributes yet in the documentation.
Is anyone else having problem with the reported speed. I cant get the right speed into home-assistant I suspect that the value i get might be in mph, but in my traccar server i see the speed in kmph. Might be the same problem with gps accuracy the value i get seem a bit high, but it might be imperial?
I also canāt get the address into home-assistant. I guess it might be a problem with swedish charters. As you can see in the screenshot. (there you see the speed, and accuracy that i suspect is imperial to.
As for the reported speed, in the traccar UI, goto cog, account, expand preferences, and set speed to whatever youād like. Should probably also customize the other options thereā¦ Hope that helps.
I allready have km/h and km in the settings for server, account and under user.
I really liked the custom component that @koen01 wrote up, but I didnāt care for how it reported the device to be tracked, to HA. I found it unnecessarily complicated to work with a device named ā12345ā, when all other devices have a name like ācarā. So I made a slight modification to the code (Iām not a developer), to report the name of the device, instead of the ID. So now when the traccar component gets loaded, and the device is created, itās named the same as it is in the traccar UI. In my testing, this change does not affect the functionality at all, just the name in HA.
Please keep in mind, like a lot of things in HA, the name will appear lowercase, and with _ instead of spaces. It can be found here:

i had that at first, but as a device name doesnt have to be unique in traccar i opted to use the device_id, which is unique.
