Homey Tracks Keep track of the family with the OwnTracks app — without handing your location data to a third party. Homey Tracks uses the free, open-source OwnTracks app on your phone to report location to your Homey. Nothing goes through my servers, or anyone else’s* — the data goes from your phon…

Hi Adrian, Yes, I use the http in owntracks. And Yes, till now only zones created in owntracks are Exchanged with homey tracks. The zones created in homey track are Shared type. In owntracks I see the avatar selected in homey tracks. Thanks Adrian!!!

Maybe I screwed it up myself. Since this morning I don’t get updates of the zones anymore. To be sure, what is the name of the field in owntracks where I need to paste the url of the endpoint? Is that in ‘host’ of ‘url’?

In HTTP mode it is URL. The Host is for MQTT mode.

I have published a new test version that should fix the syncing of zones back to OwnTracks in HTTP mode.

I posted a message on the forum but by the time I got a sort of response, I had already started my own app because I thought it had been abandoned. I tried to look at the GitHub repo that was linked in the…

Good to hear that a new app is being worked on. I’ve been using the “old” one for years and have actually never had any problems. I also use the “Recorder” in Docker because I enjoy cycling and that way I can review my route afterwards.

This app will record your route and display it in the app settings.

I agree what is the difference with the existing app ! Are there additional features otherwise just combining the apps to one would make sense
