I just discovered this app. I know there are folks out there who think location tracking is the opposite of privacy but it’s a nice security tool to keep track of your loved ones. I found this one thats fully end to end encrypted. I am currently in the works to migrate my family of 10 over. (This includes my grandparents who are less than tech savvy)

Just thought I would share in the event there was a father like me looking for a similar tool that doesn’t sell your location data or breach your data.

    Thanks and my apologies for not being clear enough but I’ve been running HomeAssistant for years now, so that part is covered, I mean specifically location tracking.

    I imagine it’s in https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/core/location/ but checking. Unfortunately this feature specifically does not seem supported in the Web client, which is what I tend to prefer. For this specific situation I might reconsider. Are you using it and if so how?

      Aah gotcha. I don’t remember exactly. I was using HA a year ago for about a month just to test around, but my home doesn’t have any smart devices so I got rid of it.

      But as far as I remember, it was something in the HA settings itself (probably in the admin account or in the map). Just give location access to HA mobile app and it should work perfectly.
