This platform allows you to detect presence using Owntracks. OwnTracks allows users to track their location on Android and iOS phones and publish it to an MQTT broker. This platform will connect to the broker and monitor for new locations.
This component requires the MQTT component to be set up and works very well together with the zone component.
To integrate Owntracks in Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
platform: owntracks
There is no further configuration needed for tracking Owntracks devices.
Owntracks can also be used with other device trackers, such as Nmap or Netgear. To do this, fill in the mac field to the Owntracks entry in known_devices.yaml with the MAC address of the device you want to track. This way the state of the device will be determined by the source that reported last.
