You really have to work at it to make an input form this user hostile. I could not make it accept even my dumbed-down text.

Maybe support doesn't want anyone to contact them (aha - neat trick)!? Oh, and there was no "Chat function" that I could see.

Geo tracking and geo fencing in Node-RED with a map page available on the LAN or via VPN through a reverse proxy. The flow supports output triggers for me (or any other tracked entity) entering or leaving a defined geo fenced area. Oh, I've injected synthetic test data - I am not really standing on the top of the O2 Arena!

I found this really cool FOSS Android app to use to send in the tracking data via secure API: https://colota.app/

I managed to side load Christian Mader's httpclient app onto my Samsung smart watch and serve the config file, then take in http requests, using Node-RED to control MQTT and ZigBee devices. This deserves a write up and I'll share flows and notes in my repo on Codeberg.
