Home Assistant: Dummy Device Tracker 📌

What is it? 🧐

This integration creates a dummy device_tracker entity with GPS coordinates based on your selected location.

But.. why? 🤷🏻‍♂️

The idea started when I was creating the Appdaemon eSolatGPS where I needed to test various GPS coordinates. The earlier version uses Appdaemon where it relies the GPS from a input_text entity and was limited to ONLY 1 location at a time.

With this integration, you can create as many device_tracker as you want 🎉

There are many use cases that you can benefit from this.

1. Trying out location triggered automation
2. Wanted to assign a person entity to a permanent location
3. Testing

Wanna Give It a Try? 😉

The normal drill, get HACS if you still haven't done that. Then head to the settings where you can add a repository.
Otherwise, just click the button below:

After installation completed, restart your Home Assistant

• Next, go to your Settings > Devices & services menu and click at the Add Integration
• Look for Dummy Device Tracker
• Enter the GPS coordinates OR drag the pin to your desired location.
• Give it a name and press Submit to save changes.

Congrats! a new device_tracker entity has been created.

I love it! 🤩
