Traccar Integration Slow To Report

Grunticus03 commented 2 years ago

The problem

When a vehicle is in motion, my GPS device is set to update my on-prem traccar server every five seconds and I see these updates in the Traccar interface. However, in Home Assisstant, position updates only appear to be occurring every 25-30 seconds.

2022.7.3

Hey there @ludeeus, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (traccar) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

30 is the default for this integration. Use interval_seconds to control it https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/device_tracker

Thanks @ludeeus !!! That should make GPS trackers WAY more useful. Kinda of surprised at the low rate of adoption by the HA community.

Alright...so I've added the setting interval_seconds and restarted HA (twice), but do not see a change in update frequency. Below is the config I have in my configuration.yaml.

device_tracker:
  - platform: traccar
    host: traccar.contoso.com
    username: xxx
    password: xxx
    interval_seconds: 3
