Question: please help to import zones from Home Assistant #805

Open jbrepogmailcom opened 2 weeks ago

jbrepogmailcom commented 2 weeks ago

Hello. Instead of OwnTracks to detect position once a while and report it to Home Assistant to check in/out of zone. I would like to import HA zones to OwnTracks on iOS and have the iOS handle entries and exits. I looked at booklet and there is some json structured command to import zones.

Is there easier way to import zones from HA to OwnTracks over mqtt? I tried advice like adding following to HA's configuration.yaml, but it did not work:

owntracks:
  waypoints: true
  waypoint_whitelist:
    - janb

Would you have any advice please?

The method to create Regions in iOS OwnTracks is that which you've found in the Booklet, by publishing appropriate CMD over MQTT. Note that you should use QoS>0 to ensure the device gets the publish even if it's currently not open.
