This is an app to save location history locally. I’d like to connect it with HomeAssistant, which it supports, but the documentation is pretty sparse. Do I need ro set up HA to receive the info? What endpoint do I enter into the Colota app?

I feel like this should be more obvious, I really have no idea

    I’ve been using Colota this weekend sending data to a Dawarich server. I like that you can filter out inaccurate GPS readings by setting an accuracy threshold, so this removes any false points that I tend to get with other location apps.

    I’ve tried GPS Logger for Reitti, and the new Android Dawarich app, but so far, Colota seems the best (early days). It has the nicest ui as well.

    In terms of what to enter, you need to find out what HA requires for the URL to receive data, then set that in the Colota app. Colota will just store the location data until you set a remote end for it to connect to.
