Comment on Introducing reitti: a selfhosted alternative to Google Timeline
danielgraf@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks agoGreetings, @Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz, that sounds like a truly wonderful idea, and as a fellow cat owner, it brings me great joy to hear about it. 😻
In fact, I have recently changed the analysis of data, which is now performed in near real-time as soon as new data becomes available. I am currently working on the functionality to display multiple users (or, in your case, Pandora) on the map, which should be beneficial to your idea.
Now, the primary question is, how can we integrate the data from the tracker into Reitti. Thats something I have no idea at the moment. Do you have any Infos about that?

I’m not very IT savy so I’m not sure if I have anything to contribute. In general there’s various trackers on the market. Some use GPS, some use Bluetooth and some use radio. All of them have respective proprietary apps. Maybe looking into these apps could give some insight?
The Nut tracker (GPS) is only 15 € and I can at least open the app on my degoogled phone.

Someone would need to get that data out of the app. Either as GPX or some other format. I do not think these devices are able to send the position to some configurable endpoint. A quick search for nut tracker and home assistant does not yield any reasonable results.
I think we are out of luck at that point. But maybe someone knows about a more open tracker device which could be configured.
