GPSLogger V99 does not have the "POST" checkbox, but does have "HTTP Body / HTTP Method"

I have set HTTP Method to POST and for HTTP Body have tried both multiline and seperated by & versions of the parameters

Investigating, I wonder if GPSLogger changed something with how they post data.

At the very least, we'll need to update the docs.

Ok got it working with the following settings:

• URL: https://URL/api/webhook/ID
• HTTP Body: latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&device=clifford_gpslogger&accuracy=%ACC&battery=%BATT&speed=%SPD&direction=%DIR&altitude=%ALT&provider=%PROV&activity=%ACT
• HTTP Headers: Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• HTTP Method: POST

[rohankapoorcom]

Confirmed @phdelodder's fix works for me as well. Looks like we do just need to a docs update and no code is needed.

@phdelodder do you want to update the docs?

[phdelodder]

@rohankapoorcom I can do it tonight at the earliest. I see if I can create a pull request.

[rohankapoorcom]

Sounds good, I would do it, but about to head to bed (since there is no code change required). Feel free to tag me to review the docs update.

[cliffordwhansen]

@rohankapoorcom / @phdelodder This worked for me as well, I will start updating the docs now :)

Hi, I have the same settings in my gpslogger app but I can't make the integration work for some reason. It did worked fine for 0.85.x

the warning i'm getting is:
"Received message for unregistered webhook WEBHOOK_ID"

how can i "register" the webhook? how will homeassistant know that this webhook is the gpslogger one?

Thanks!

[phdelodder]

The webhook is a new feature in version 0.86

[mooviter]

Yes I understand it's a breaking change, but can't make gpslogger work properly. The docs aren't very clear regarding the "WEBHOOK_ID".

[phdelodder]

To create a webhook ID, you need to go to Configuration -> Integrations -> add gpslogger

At that point you will get your webhook ID.

sh** i totally missed that part in the documentation, sorry for bothering you!

Unexpected code Response{protocol=http/1.1, code=422, message=Unprocessable Entity, url=https://xx.xx.xx/api/webhook/xxxx}

Hi! I'm also trying to integrate GPSLogger with HA, but the problem is that I don't see GPSlogger component in integrations.

Anybody knows why?

Thanks, I found it under "Konfiguracja Geofancy Webhook" (which is not the best translation in polish).
