I haven’t deved android since before all of the permission overhauls but I believe aprpximate would suffice for those cases, and I don’t think they are actually needed. Luckily with a little bit of work and someones open source project I was able to get a home assistant integration to use their API and give them 0 of those permission requests.
I’m no android pro Dev, so no absolute confidence in my point. You’re probably right.
And good you managed to bring it into HA without the permissions.
Sure they sell the data…my point was just that they would probably need the permission even if they didn’t want your actual location.
