Set RV location using your Phone's Location

Understanding the basics

Set Location

Baked right into Home Assistant, we can call the set location action to change the coordinantes of our home.

  action: homeassistant.set_location
  data:
    latitude: 32.87336
    longitude: 117.22743
    elevation: 120

Home Assistant Mobile

Using the Home Assistant mobile app, we can grab the accurate coordinantes from a phone when we want to update the location of our RV.

Create Script

To make this easier, we can create a script that we can call in automations, add a button to a dashboard, or even using voice to ask assist to update your location.

  alias: Set Location
  sequence:
    - data:
        latitude: {{ state_attr('sensor.taylors_iphone_geocoded_location', 'Location')[0]}}
        longitude: {{ state_attr('sensor.taylors_iphone_geocoded_location', 'Location')[1]}}
      action: homeassistant.set_location
  description: ""

Automation Ideas

We can toggle this script whenever something happens and we want to change where our RV is.

• Everytime the phone connects to RV wifi
• Every morning when your phone is connected to the RV WiFi
• Using an apple shortcut to call a webhook when disconnecting from CarPlay & my phone is connected to the RV wifi.
