#  GPSLogger

This is a custom version of the Home Assistant built-in [GPSLogger](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/gpslogger/) integration.

It extends the built-in integration in ways that make sense but are no longer accepted.

Specifically, it allows additional attributes, especially `last_seen`,

which is crucial when combining entities from this Device Tracker integration with ones from other integrations,

e.g., via my [Composite Device Tracker](https://github.com/pnbruckner/ha-composite-tracker) integration.

Also, `last_seen` is important when dealing with packets received out of order from the corresponding Android app,

e.g., due to network delays.

## Installation

With HACS

[![hacs_badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/HACS-Custom-41BDF5.svg)](https://hacs.xyz/)

You can use HACS to manage the installation and provide update notifications.

1. Add this repo as a [custom repository](https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/custom_repositories/).

   It should then appear as a new integration. Click on it. If necessary, search for "gpslogger".

   ```text

   https://github.com/pnbruckner/ha-gpslogger

   ```

   Or use this button:

   

   [![Open your Home Assistant instance and open a repository inside the Home Assistant Community Store.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/hacs_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=pnbruckner&repository=ha-gpslogger&category=integration)

1. Download the integration using the appropriate button.

Manual

Place a copy of the files from [`custom_components/gpslogger`](custom_components/gpslogger)

in `/custom_components/gpslogger`,

where `` is your Home Assistant configuration directory.

>__NOTE__: When downloading, make sure to use the `Raw` button from each file's page.

## Setup

Please see the standard [GPSLogger](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/gpslogger/) documentation for basic set up.

The following should be added to the **HTTP Body** setting in the Android app (in addition to what the standard docs suggest):

```text

&last_seen=%TIME&battery_charging=%ISCHARGING

```

Note that `%TIME` provides the phone's time in UTC.

If you'd rather have the time specified in the phone's local time zone, use `%TIMEOFFSET` instead.
