I was too late to prevent my dad from buying a 4G GPS tracker gizmo thingy from AliExpress.
So here’s https://github.com/rpardini/yuntrack-gpscj-home-assistant
“gpscj.net” or “Yuntrack” are the keywords – they send data to a server in China, and they force to use a bad/terrible website (“gpscj.net”) or an even-worse Android or iOS app (“Yuntrack”). Now at least we can check if the dog is around, straight from HA. I’ve some other sensors in there for 4G/GPS signal, Battery level, date and time for signal lock, 4g connection, stop-time, etc.
Feedback from experienced developers appreciated, this is my first HA integration written from scratch.
