Tractive

Founded in 2012, Tractive is the world's leading provider of GPS tracking and health monitoring devices for cats and dogs. Tractive’s mission is to strengthen the bond between pets and their families through cutting-edge technology, offering peace of mind and security for pets everywhere.

Bringing pet care into the smart home era, the Tractive App for Homey lets users create automations that respond to their pets’ real-world activity—think turning lights red if your cat has not returned home for 12 hours or announcing when your dog leaves the yard on smart speakers.

Tracking Your Barking Buddy

Tractive offers dedicated GPS trackers designed for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. These robust and waterproof devices attach securely to your dog's collar, providing reliable, real-time location tracking of wherever their adventures take them.

Features like Live Mode deliver rapid position updates, while the Virtual Fence allows you to set up safe zones and get instant alerts if your dog leaves or returns. For a deeper understanding of your dog's routine and past adventures, the Tractive Premium plan offers access to their full Location History for up to 365 days.

In addition to location tracking, the devices continuously monitor your dog's daily activity levels, active minutes, and sleep patterns, providing valuable insights into their health, fitness, and overall well-being. Certain Tractive models also offer bark detection which can alert you to significant changes in your dog's barking behavior, pointing to potential health issues or stress changes.

Tracking Your Meowing Friend

For feline companions, Tractive provides exceptionally small and lightweight GPS trackers specifically engineered for cats. Designed to attach comfortably and safely to your cats collar, these devices enable you to follow your cat's explorations with accurate GPS tracking. Use Live Mode to pinpoint their exact location in real-time or check their Location History to understand their favorite roaming spots.

Just like for dogs, the cat trackers offer detailed activity and wellness monitoring, tracking sleep, active levels, and detecting changes in behavior that could signal health issues, helping you take better care for your independent explorer. All Tractive trackers are waterproof and IP68 rated.

Bringing Pet Awareness to Your Smart Home

Integrating your Tractive tracker with Homey opens up exciting possibilities to automate your smart home based on your pet's movements and status. The Tractive app for Homey allows you to use your pet's location, their presence within or outside a virtual fence or safe zone, or even their activity status as triggers for your Homey Flows.

For instance, set your smart speaker to announce when your dog arrives back in the garden, have certain lights turn on if your cat is detected near the pet door after dark, or receive a tailored notification if your pet leaves their usual roaming area. The days of calling and yelling for your dog from the back porch are over, thanks to Tractive and Homey.

The Homey and Tractive partnership bridges the gap between your pet's world and your smart home, enhancing security, convenience, and peace of mind by making your home responsive to your furry family members.
