Comment on Any self-hosted option for real time location sharing?
lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoHome 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?

I think it could drain battery depending on what settings you tweak. However, I don’t have terrible battery drain. Here’s all of my settings that could be related:

With those settings, I get pretty frequent updates to my location, especially while driving (likely because I plug my phone in while in the car)

So we took a look trying to figure out why her phone wasn’t giving HA a consistent location… She likes to turn off the camera/mic/location killswitches 😂
Quick fix haha, but at least we know that Graphene is doing the thing that it’s known to do!

Interesting. Thanks for the screenshots, I’ll have my wife check those settings.
