Location Safety Monitor

Real-time safety monitoring based on user location with automatic alerting and escalation.

Overview

This skill provides:

• Location webhook — receives location updates from mobile apps (OwnTracks, iOS Shortcuts)
• Safety checker — monitors NWS alerts, earthquakes, air quality, local news
• Alert system — messages user when danger detected
• Escalation — contacts emergency contact if user doesn't respond

Quick Setup

Run the interactive setup wizard — it guides you through everything:

cd location-webhook/
node setup.js

The wizard walks you through 4 steps:

Step 1: Your Location

• Pick from presets (Seattle, Portland, SF, LA, NYC, Chicago)
• Or enter any city (auto-geocoded)
• Configures local news feeds and keywords

Step 2: Emergency Contact

• Name and email of someone to contact if you don't respond
• Optional but recommended for safety escalation

Step 3: Mobile App Setup

• Install OwnTracks on your phone:
  • 📱 iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/app/owntracks/id692424691
  • 🤖 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.owntracks.android
• Configure app to HTTP mode
• Point to your webhook URL

Step 4: Start Webhook Server

• Run node server.js
• Copy the displayed URL to OwnTracks
• Test with the publish button

Quick setup (skip the wizard):

node setup.js --city "Portland"
node setup.js --show  # View current config

5. Deploy the Location Webhook

# Copy scripts to workspace
cp -r scripts/ ~/location-webhook/
cd ~/location-webhook/

# Start the server (uses port 18800 by default)
node server.js

Configure the user's phone to send location updates to:

POST http://<your-host>:18800/location?key=<SECRET_KEY>

OwnTracks setup:

• Mode: HTTP
• URL: http://<your-host>:18800/location?key=<SECRET_KEY>

iOS Shortcuts:

• Get Current Location → Get Contents of URL (POST, JSON body with lat and lon)

2. Configure Safety Monitoring

Create two cron jobs in Moltbot:

Safety Check (every 30 min):

Schedule: every 30 minutes
Payload: systemEvent
Text: "Run safety check at ~/location-webhook/safety-check.js. If ALERTS_FOUND, message user on WhatsApp with alert details and ask them to confirm safety. Track alert in safety-state.json."
Session: main

Escalation Check (every 10 min):

Schedule: every 10 minutes  
Payload: systemEvent
Text: "Check ~/location-webhook/safety-state.json. If pendingAlert exists with alertSentAt > 15 min ago and acknowledgedAt is null, email emergency contact explaining the situation."
Session: main

3. Configure Emergency Contact

Add to MEMORY.md or TOOLS.md:

## Emergency Contact
- Name: [Name]
- Email: [email]
- Relationship: [spouse/parent/friend]
