Hi, I’m looking for an alternative to Google’s Find my phone that can be self hosted. Most important feature would be to see the last known location of a mobile phone without disclosing the location to any third party system. It would be nice to have features like making the phone ring or wiping the phone remotely.

Happy to hear any ideas what you people are using.

    great idea, but a suggestion.

    instead of just one ping at 2%, do three within 10 seconds of each other. this would determine direction and rate of travel.

      You can just remotely enable high accuracy mode for a minute and it will trace their path on a map cleanly.

      _action: notify.mobile_app_your_fone metadata: {} data: message: device_high_accuracy_mode data: silent: true high_accuracy_mode: turn_on channel: loc __
