GPS Coordinates for location of Pimatic Device / Home location to be a Pimatic config setting
Several plugins use these, perhaps it makes sense to expose these as Pimatic wide config settings so users do not have to define them in several places, reducing errors and ease of maintenance. Devs can then pick them up from the config

Think this is low prio compared to other enhancements for the next release. MoSCoW - Could / Would

where do you want to store these data? would it make sense in the user data ?

  "users": [
    {
      "username": "admin",
      "password": "password",
      "role": "admin",
      "longitude": "40.6892",
      "latitude": "-74.0445"
    }
]

in general we need some configurable user options if you ask me.
(fyi: the sunrise device asks for your long. and lat. data too.)

Hi @leader21, Storing in the user section would make sense to track presence of individuals, as their location is more volatile. Plugins such as phone could update these settings, which would then be available to other plugins. Phone by @bstrebel also defines well-known locations based on GPS coords, and Wifi SSIDs for instance.

The Pimatic / Home locatio would be static, perhaps

"settings": {
   "locations": [{
     "name": "Home"
     "lat": 4.5325378,
     "long": 51.564845
   }]
}

Would make sense for more static location info?
