Hi, I’m looking for an alternative to Google’s Find my phone that can be self hosted. Most important feature would be to see the last known location of a mobile phone without disclosing the location to any third party system. It would be nice to have features like making the phone ring or wiping the phone remotely.
Happy to hear any ideas what you people are using.
How do you ping a location update? I’ve tried sending the hidden sms that’s supposed to do is but it only seems to work about 25% of the time, and I have to run the actual location check like 3-4 minutes later
Don’t use sms. Use the home assistant notify skill. It will notify my phone using the notify.notify skill.
But if I’m going to do 3 pings for the direction of the pings, then I gotta figure out a different solution.
