It uses http, and yes, it works perfectly on GrapheneOS.
Comment on Any self-hosted option for real time location sharing?
yestalgia@lemmy.world 5 days agoDo you know if it works well with GrapheneOS?
Does it use http or MQTT?
I was using Traccar and that worked well until moving to GOS and then background updates wouldn’t work.
I tried owntrack and nextcloud but never got it to work.

Home Assistant location doesn’t quite play nice with GOS. My wife and I have been looking for a Life360 replacement ourselves. She runs Graphene, and it’ll grab location periodically, but it’s not consistent.

Do you use persistent connection? Both myself and my partner use GOS and it works fine, and updates frequently. You might also be able to change the pull rate as well.

I want to say I enabled it, but I’ll have to check again.
Does it affect the battery usage much by increasing the poll rate?

Home Assistant uses HTTP for this. Realistically, you won’t see much difference between HTTP and MQTT for this use case.
MQTT is harder to secure than HTTP, and has some limitations (eg it normally only supports username and password auth - no SSO, no 2FA) so I’d avoid it for anything public-facing unless you have a specific reason to use it. Using it via a VPN is fine, but you’d still need to configure a separate MQTT username and password per user.
