Hello. I just got a google pixel with grapheneos, and would like a way to use Apple’s find-my or something similar with family members who still use Apple. I would like something open source that can either proxy my location to Find My or serve as an alternative. I know these apps and services are inherently not private but I do need it so please don’t be the guy to say “just don’t use it,” I would if it were an option. Thanks.
google maps has location sharing, it works pretty well and it reminds you occasionally that you still have it on which is actually nice.
I’ve been using traccar. It’s more like a service for fleet management, but as a selfhosted alternative is as best as I was able to find.
I dont know find my on Apple. So not sure if This is what you look for, but I use find My device from fdroid store https://gitlab.com/Nulide/findmydevice You can whitelist phonenumbers from people you trust and if from their number a codeword is send to your phone via SMS, it autonatically sends an SMS with its location back. but i dont know it This is what you are Looking for and if its compatible with Apple…
I’ve replaced Google Maps location sharing with Home Assistant, works great. I’ve set mine up to show the last 12 hrs history, so I get a nice path of where we’ve been that day.
Out of curiosity, how are you connecting your phone to home when you’re out? Are you exposing HA, vpn? What sensors do you have enabled in the companion app? Do you have high accuracy enabled? How’s your battery drain?
