Post to owntracks/UserID/DeviceID topic whenever region boundary is passed? #85

Closed sheppy99 closed 4 years ago

sheppy99 commented 4 years ago

I've been working at interfacing Owntracks with OpenHAB using MQTT without using the dedicated V1.x Owntracks binding as all V1.x bindings are being retired when the next major version appears. I've noticed that a general update is published to owntracks/UserID/DeviceID around the time a enter or leave message is published to the owntracks/UserID/DeviceID/event topic. Is this expected behaviour? The reason I ask is the general update message contains all the regions the device is currently in and can be used instead of the specific event topic. I realise there is a HTTP only gpstracker binding but that doesn't work with my scenario.

Yes this is the expected behaviour. The inregions attribute in the _location messages is optional.
