Minimum accuracy setting -- Android parity

[lucasfeijo]

Hi hass-ios team,

The Android companion app offers a Minimum accuracy option that ignores location updates whose gps_accuracy exceeds a user-defined threshold (see screenshot). This significantly reduces false presence changes caused by low-quality fixes.

I have reviewed the open issues referencing inaccurate location updates on iOS but couldn’t find an equivalent setting in the iOS app.
1. Is bringing this feature to iOS already on the roadmap?
2. If not, would you be open to a PR? I’ve cloned the repo and can implement it.

Thanks for your work on the project. Let me know how I can help.

Thanks to bring that up, this was not on the roadmap, feel free to open a PR and I'll review it.

Meanwhile you can check the gps_accuracy under Companion App Settings > Debugging > Event log, to see if your use case issue is really caused by the accuracy.

I lost motivation to finish implementing this (I had vibe coded 90% of it) because with iOS 26 this isn't an issue anymore, I will keep monitoring it, but I haven't seen inaccurate locations in a long time.
