I'm using a spare phone as tracker device for our mobilhome that we rent out. (the people are aware we do this 🙂 )
Since its constantly charging I'd like to set the update interval to 1 second, but ONLY if the location has changed by x meters and its really moving.
Right now I have it set to 30 seconds, because otherwise HA craps the bed when I try and pull up a map of where the mobilehome is since it displays all points, also the back and forth a few meters every update due to gps inaccuracy.
It would also be VERY cool to be able to see the current traveling speed. just to see if they're being nice to our second home or not.. But that might be the stalker in me talking 😄
Any way this can currently be done or could be a possible feature ?
Thanks in advance for any input!

I wouldn’t use the companion app for something like this. It gives whomever has access to the device access to your HA instance as well.
Instead, if it’s an Android device, I’d use GPSLogger for Android as it has all the features you want plus a native integration into HA. I’m not sure if there is an iOS equivalent, but I’m pretty sure there is.
