    Iphone location to a virtual device

    With PHLocation not being supported anymore, I am looking at an alternative way to have a virtual device string updated real time with an IOS device Location.

    Does anyone have a receipe of their own to accomplish this ?


    I found the "SendLocation" app on the app store that can do an HTTP GET request sending the information required but I'd rather not use another plugin (I know I could use Big-5) and only use tools available in HS

    thanks


    ******* Forget about this, I will probably be using the "owntracks" apps together with mcsmqtt to do the job

    Be careful with "owntracks" and other tracking apps as they are battery hogs most of them. I personally tried and abandoned owntracks for this reason. Many real life applications such as "activate security when I leave home" or "turn on air conditioning when I'm 2 miles close to home" do not need instantaneous action. They can wait 5 minutes or so. In this regard it is a good idea to use something like SendLocation once every 5 minutes and save battery life. Just my 2 cents.
