Description

This would be my feature request :)

My scenario is, that I'd like to start tracking for a few seconds when connected to my wifi and the accelerometer activates. I read the information from the find server into my home-automation system and get room-level tracking (tested it, it works well enough for my purposes) to turn on the lights and so on.

A nice to have would be a configurable tracking interval, but I guess I could do that myself even without android experience and recompile it ;)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Android Intent system and Tasker plugin development. Review the existing find server code to understand how tracking is started/stopped. Look for similar integrations in other open source projects.
