Hi everyone, I’m diving into the world of MQTT and OwnTracks to create a seamless location tracking system. My goal is to display my location on a map within my sitemap, but I’m hitting a snag with the MQTT Binding not updating my item. Let me walk you through my setup and where I’m stuck.
I’ve configured my item as follows:
plaintext
String positionthomasraw “Thomas Raw Data” (loc) { mqtt=“<[mosquitto:owntracks/thomas/iPhone:state:default>” }
The MQTT Binding seems connected since I can see three clients, including my browser, and testing with MQTT.fx shows messages are being sent. However, when I push a location update via the OwnTracks app, it appears in MQTT.fx but not in my sitemap. I’ve tried troubleshooting by displaying the item in my sitemap, but no luck so far.
I’m curious if anyone has successfully integrated MQTT and OwnTracks for real-time location updates. Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated! Let’s explore this together and see if we can crack the code.
