I’ve got a page with a map with my locations, which I really only use to check whether openHAB is aware of the fact that I’m not home. But with the holidays approaching, I though it would be fun to be able to “go back in time” with my locations. Something like this: [image] Home Assistant: …

[image] ErikDB: No use in reinventing the wheel, right? [image] Item location - history and presentation Items & Sitemaps Hello, I have defined item as location, it stores the last location of the car. My question is - is there possible to read history…

Depending on how robust you want this to be, something like Reitti and a webview on your sitemap/MainUI might give you a better overall experience. Doing it all with native OH capabilities is going to be complicated, brittle and ultimately not provide a smooth end user experience. But there are a c…

In any case, I need to figure out how to get previous coordinates. And as always, I struggle with this persistence… var locationitem = items.getItem("DBE_OwnTracks__Locatie"); var previouslocation = locationitem.previousState; var hudigelocation = locationitem.state; console.log("previous location…

mpdb only saves one value. There is no history in mapdb. The value stored in mapdb is almost always going to be the Item’s current state. MapDB doesn’t have any other information. The docs should make this clear. The ** MapDB (opens new window) **persistence service is based on a simple key-value s…

[image] rlkoshak: I’d recommend SQLite unless you think at some future date you might want to analyze your historic data using external tools. If so, InfluxDB, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL would be my recommendation depending what external tools you want to use for analysis (I know that InfluxDB is in…

[image] ErikDB: Would that be able to work with data from SQLite? No, what ever you are using to report locations to openHAB will need to report locations to Reitti instead or in addition (OwnTracks, GPS Tracker, etc). Reitti is a wholly separate service which knows nothing of openHAB. And …

Not quite what you asked for, but you could use openHAB and its cloud as a proxy to forward the location data to Owntracks, Dawarich, Reitti… running somewhere in your LAN. I’m collecting my location data with Owntracks via MQTT and openHAB subscribes to the location topic as well to get the curren…

I use something like that, using exactly Owntracks with GPSTracker Binding to record locations store in InlfuxDB and draw with Grafana on the map. Initially I also use that to know when some of the family are at home or not, but I have done this for experimentation and is not bad. But is not the sa…
