Comment on Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline
warmaster@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI have the HA app on my phone, it reports my location back to my HA server.
I would like if Reitti could retrieve my location from my HA server, instead of asking me to upload it again to Reitti. Uploading my location in short intervals drains the battery very fast, it’s something I want to avoid if I can.
Additiinally, I don’t want to expose anything to the internet. So I pay for the Home Assistant cloud subscription that does it for me in a more secure manner than what I could implement with the little free time I have. Reitti could retrieve my location more securely if it did so without exiting my LAN.

I had a similar setup with Home Assistant in the past so I understand your usecase. For Reitti to detect visits somewhat reliable it needs at least one datapoint of location data a minute. We build location clusters with minimum 5 points in 5 minutes. If HA tracks that often it should work. HA probably tracks more than that.
I could add an integration that it fetches the data from Home Assistant. Do you mind in creating a feature request?
