So the question might be an little confusing so let me break it down. So I have my phone hooked into home assistant and it’s showing the gps location. With an enitiy id being the one that home assistant gives you. (Example: device_tracker.mcb_iphone). Now is there an way to have home assistant on demand or periodically instant of constant and draining the battery? The goal here is to have it like find my friends for iphone but can just work with iphone and android. I know there is services like Life360 but that drains the battery while in motion. I was hoping something that is more like, location on demand and updates from time to time instead on constantly so it’s not draining the battery.
