Note
This is an experimental integration for Dawarich, expect possibly breaking changes. This is a community integration, not affiliated with Dawarich.
Dawarich is a self-hosted Google Timeline alternative (see why you would want to consider it).
This integration does two things, one of which is optional.
- It provides statistics for your account. This includes total distance, number of cities visited, current Dawarich version, and more.
- (optional) You can set a device tracker (such as a mobile phone) to send its data through Home Assistant to Dawarich. This way, you don't need another app and can instead use any existing location entities in Home Assistant.
There are two ways to install this. The easiest is with HACS.
Altough the below instructions might look complicated, they are rather simple.
- Make sure you have HACS installed using these instructions.
- Click the button below to add the custom repository to HACS directly:
- Press the download button in the bottom right corner.
- Restart Home Assistant.
- Click the button below to configure the Dawarich integration:
Take the items under custom_components/dawarich and place them in the folder homeassistant/custom_components/dawarich.
