Why is there no navigation/route option available in HA?
(I don’t know if leaflet supports this)
This weekend I wanted to navigate to my wife who was somewhere in the city.
so I opened HA to check her location, but then I couldn’t simply click “navigate to”
For somehow I needed to check the map of open up another app for navigation.
It would be welcome if there is just such an option which updates the destination if the person moves.
If you click on her person instead of the map it will show her location in the more-info page, zoomed in. You can also make a map card that just shows her and it will always be centered on her.
TLDR: Go from her person, not the map. The map will always show you the zones you have configured.
Directions can only be provided by an integration that provides them, which aren’t available by default. And google for example, costs money. This is something you’ll have to add yourself, which is pretty easy to do. It still won’t draw the directions on the map because these apis don’t have that information available.
This is brilliant! I’ve just used this to create a “Directions To Work” button.
I already get a mobile notification with a traffic map snapshot if my expected commute time is greater than normal or I am not at home which already has an action that just opens the google maps app to my current location. I’ve added an action to press this button so it will open best route and directions to work at the click of a button!
