Node-red - Phonetrack HomeAssistant Bridge
I threw together a quick way to bridge GPS data from the android app GPS Logger between HomeAssistant and the Nextcloud APP Phonetrack.
Note: Returns the highest http response code thrown by either service, this can result in the GPS logger submitting multiple times if there is any issues with either Nextcloud or HomeAssistant
Extra Nodes used
Node which implements HTTP Basic/Digest Authorization.
A node-red node to set flow and global context values at start up.
Configuration
Node-Red
In HomeAssistant follow the instructions found here to obtain the GPS Logger web hook url and add this to the config node
In Nextcloud after creating a tacking session click the link icon and fetch the link labled GpsLogger GET and POST link :
and add this to the config node
Edit the http auth
Node with your desired credentials.

and add your Node-Red url: https://example.tld/node-red/gps_logger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=[Your_Device_Name_Here]&accuracy=%ACC&battery=%BATT&speed=%SPD&direction=%DIR&altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activity=%ACT×tamp=%TIMESTAMP
- Note: edit the url and the [Your_Device_Name_Here]
