We discussed this topic internally in the architecture meeting and decided that the following:

  • Non GPS device trackers should have priority over GPS ones, as it's currently implemented. (No changes needed)
  • We like the idea of adding coordinates to the person entity when a non-GPS tracker reports the person's home. In that case, we should add the zone coordinates where the non-GPS tracker belongs.
    • As @dxmnkd316 pointed out above, using the zones coordinates will not create attribute updates when you are moving around your house
    • GPS accuracy is low in most houses, and coordinates will be reported outside the house. This was the reason why Paulus added a non-GPS tracker in the first place.
