Modern GPS Tracking Platform.

Traccar in the Home Assistant Frontend

About

Traccar is modern GPS Tracking Platform, which is now available as an Hass.io add-on and allows you to run your GPS Tracking software without any cloud.

Traccar supports more protocols and device models than any other GPS tracking system on the market, straight from your Hass.io instance. You can select GPS trackers from a variety of vendors from low-cost Chinese models to high-end quality brands.

Traccar also has native mobile apps available for Android and iOS platforms so that you can track those as well. AND! With the Home Assistant traccar component (introduced in 0.83) the data in Traccar will be sent back into your Home Assistant instance as well.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Hass.io add-on.

  1. Add our Hass.io add-ons repository to your Hass.io instance.
  2. Install the "Traccar" add-on.
  3. Start the "Traccar" add-on
  4. Check the logs of the "Traccar" add-on to see if everything went well.
  5. Click the "OPEN WEB UI" button and log in using admin/admin.
  6. Be sure to change the username and password!

NOTE: Do not add this repository to Hass.io, please use: https://github.com/hassio-addons/repository.

Configuration

Note: Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed.

Example add-on configuration:

{
  "log_level": "info",
  "port": 8072,
  "ssl": true,
  "certfile": "fullchain.pem",
  "keyfile": "privkey.pem"
}

Note: This is just an example, don't copy and past it! Create your own!

Option: log_level

The log_level option controls the level of log output by the addon and can be changed to be more or less verbose, which might be useful when you are dealing with an unknown issue. Possible values are:

  • trace: Show every detail, like all called internal functions.
  • debug: Shows detailed debug information.
  • info: Normal (usually) interesting events.
  • warning: Exceptional occurrences that are not errors.
  • error: Runtime errors that do not require immediate action.
  • fatal: Something went terribly wrong. Add-on becomes unusable.

Please note that each level automatically includes log messages from a more severe level, e.g., debug also shows info messages. By default, the log_level is set to info, which is the recommended setting unless you are troubleshooting.

Option: port

The port setting allows you to change the port the web interface Traccar is running on.

Option: ssl

Enables/Disables SSL (HTTPS) on the web interface. Set it true to enable it, false otherwise.

Option: certfile

The certificate file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default for Hass.io

Option: keyfile

The private key file to use for SSL.

Note: The file MUST be stored in /ssl/, which is the default for Hass.io

Integrating into Home Assistant

The traccar component of Home Assistant makes it possible to transfer all assets tracked by Traccar to appear in Home Assistant as a tracked device.

Add the following snippet to your Home Assistant configuration.yaml file.

device_tracker:
  - platform: traccar
    host: a0d7b954-traccar
    port: 8072
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD

Restart Home Assistant.

Embedding into Home Assistant

It is possible to embed Traccar directly into Home Assistant, allowing you to access your Traccar instance through the Home Assistant frontend.

Home Assistant provides the panel_iframe component, for these purposes.

Example configuration:

panel_iframe:
  traccar:
    title: Traccar
    icon: mdi:car-connected
    url: https://addres.to.your.hass.io:8072
