I am documenting setting up OwnTracks with Home Assistant.

OwnTracks has a smartphone app, it's open source and free and there is a Home Assistant integration.

OwnTraks supports iBeacons, I will try that out if the app seems worth using.

There is a (dockerized) OwnTracks server called OwnTracks Recorder but I am already running Home Assistant so I am looking at the integration only right now.

I run Mosquitto so I should be able to catch MQTT messages transmitted by the OwnTracks app with almost no more work.
