Hey, first of all thanks for this fantastic app!

I'm writing an HTTP interface for OwnTracks to work with home assistant. When testing this in HTTP mode, the iPhone version of the client app includes topic name in the JSON body of the POST request but the Android version doesn't. Is this a bug or something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

This is not a bug; we chose to not add that for the time being, other things being more pressing. You can construct a pseudo-topic from the tid if you need something.

Clear. Thanks

As an easy workaround, for Home Assistant we're going to make the url be /api/owntracks/<user>/<device>.

Is this still the case? I'm not seeing it either..

[jpmens]

That is still the case.

Ah, I see. Shame there's still nothing mentioned in the docs then. I did see my username end up as a x-limit-d header so I supposed I can get it that way... any way I can get to the device id ?

Ah wait it IS mentioned :) I stand corrected :)
