I even ordered a data-only SIM from my carrier, Google Fi.īut, in double-checking I knew what I was getting into, I noticed that these Freematics devices require some degree of programming. I see all the supported devices and the prominently-mentioned Freematics ONE+ variants. However, this is where I hit a wall, in terms of solution-finding. Seems like the clear solution, as I run an UnRAID server and presumably can run a Traccar server on there (I see a Docker app in the Community Applications store), so no need for a monthly subscription fee (if I understand correctly).

Lo-and-behold, there's a massive market of them on Amazon - but I want something without a subscription service, ideally open-source, that I can integrate in Home Assistant.īoom - Traccar. But this got me thinking about OBD-based GPS trackers. However, my wife has an old Honda Civic and we'd like to track that too (she shot down using a Tile tracker, as she correctly pointed out such a device is mostly useless if the car is taken into the middle of nowhere).īack in the day, I had an Automatic OBD adapter for my old car (also a Honda Civic at the time) - it was great! Of course, Automatic is no more. This is something I love having the ability to do for peace of mind, at a bare minimum. Hey all, so I've been getting into Home Assistant, and I'm lucky enough to own a car which already has a built-in integration, allowing for tracking it via GPS and whatnot.
