Episode 767: Owntracks, Are We There Yet?

This week Jonathan Bennett and Jeff Massie talk with JP Mens about Owntracks, the collection of programs that lets you take back control of your own location data. It's built around the simple idea of taking position data from a mobile phone or other data source, sending it over MQTT to a central server, and logging that data to a simple data store.

From there, you can share it as trips, mark points of interest, play back your movement in a web browser, and more. And because it's just JSON inside MQTT, it's pretty trivial to make a connector to interface with other projects, like Home Assistant.

You can join the conversation in the Hackaday Discord, where the show records live each week, as well as getting the full story and show links from Hackaday.
