Use device_tracker latitude & longitude elsewhere in config

Configuration
1

I am in need of help from the community, I think what I am trying to do is simple but I have tried a number of ways and still had no success.

At the moment I currently have device tracking enabled on the ios app and it reports back my location to HA very well. I can see that it reports back specifically the long/lat attributes.

I want to extract the latitude from the device tracker attribute and then use that exact output in the Uber component config specifically start_latitude

Then the same for start_longitude

Looking to the knowledgable community for a neat way of doing this as I have only been setting up my HA for 3 weeks and my expertise is very limited.

Looking at the code it doesn’t appear it has any provisions for updating the start and/or end GPS coordinates. That would be a feature request. :slight_smile:

I think I get what you are saying. Even if I was to somehow make the input dynamic the program itself is not and only takes the input in once when it loads. Therefore currently the program would have to restart constantly in order to keep changing the input.

Good idea with the feature request will check if there is one already if not I will submit it.

Thank you so much for looking into this for me.
