Using bluetooth to rember parking location

10

I case you want a different approach this is what I’ve been using.

It creates a device tracker to show the vehicle location on the HA map instead of sending a notification of the location. But you can combine this with yours if you want both.

First you need to create a device tracker in your known_devices.yaml (create that file in your config directory if it doesn’t exist):

toyota_tacoma:
  icon:
  name: Toyota Tacoma
  picture: /local/tacoma.jpg
  track: true

then create a variable to save the GPS location. I use the custom integration hass-variables for this but you might be able to use your existing location sensor:

  tacoma_location_saved:
    value: 'unknown'
    attributes:
      latitude: ''
      longitude: ''
    restore: true

then you can use the following to update everything:

- alias: Set Tacoma Location
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.my_mobile_app_bluetooth_connection
    - platform: state
      entity_id: person.me
      to: 'home'
  action:
    choose:
      - conditions:
          - "{{ trigger.entity_id == 'sensor.my_mobile_app_bluetooth_connection' }}"
          - "{{ '84:DD:20:62:AA:AA (TOYOTA Tacoma)' in trigger.from_state.attributes.connected_paired_devices }}"
          - "{{ '84:DD:20:62:AA:AA (TOYOTA Tacoma)' not in trigger.to_state.attributes.connected_paired_devices }}"
        sequence:
          - service: device_tracker.see
            data:
              dev_id: toyota_tacoma
              location_name: "{{ states('device_tracker.my_mobile_app') }}"
              gps: 
                - "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.my_mobile_app', 'latitude') }}"
                - "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.my_mobile_app', 'longitude') }}"
          - delay:
              seconds: 10
          - service: variable.set_variable
            data:
              variable: tacoma_location_saved
              value: "{{ states('device_tracker.toyota_tacoma') }}"
              attributes:
                latitude: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.toyota_tacoma', 'latitude') }}"
                longitude: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.toyota_tacoma', 'longitude') }}"
      - conditions:
          - "{{trigger.entity_id == 'person.me'}}"
        sequence:
          - service: device_tracker.see
            data:
              dev_id: toyota_tacoma
              location_name: home
              gps: [41.00000, -85.000000]
          - delay:
              seconds: 10
          - service: variable.set_variable
            data:
              variable: tacoma_location_saved
              value: "{{ states('device_tracker.toyota_tacoma') }}"
              attributes:
                latitude: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.toyota_tacoma', 'latitude') }}"
                longitude: "{{ state_attr('device_tracker.toyota_tacoma', 'longitude') }}"
    
- alias: Restore Tacoma Location After Restart
  trigger:
    - platform: homeassistant
      event: start
  action:
    - delay:
        minutes: 1
    - service: device_tracker.see
      data:
        dev_id: toyota_tacoma
        location_name: "{{ states('variable.tacoma_location_saved') }}"
        gps: 
          - "{{ state_attr('variable.tacoma_location_saved', 'latitude') }}"
          - "{{ state_attr('variable.tacoma_location_saved', 'longitude') }}"

it’s a bit more involved but it gives you a marker on the map and it survives HA restarts.
