What people report
Traccar Server works with a recent server version. Old servers and the HAOS Traccar add-on 5.12 broke after changes in 2024 and 2025.

| Traccar Server 5.12 (HAOS add-on) | Not working | 2025.11 requires an API key the add-on cannot create; workaround via token POSTSaved copyThe problem After updating Home Assistant to version 2025.11 (Core 2025.11.0, Supervisor 2025.11.1, OS 16.3), the Traccar Server integration now requires an API Key (token) for authentication. We are using the Traccar add-on version 5.12 inside HAOS. This version does not support the `/api/session/token` endpoint, so authentication via API Key is impossible. Previously, using login/password worked fine. As a result, the integration cannot connect to our Traccar server, and all device tracking in HA is broken. --- ### Steps to reproduce 1.
