This is generally usefull when using the `minimal` flavor of the app lacking locations services. The value of the sensor uniquely identify mobile network cells, following the definition of [opencellid.org](https://opencellid.org). It is composed of the network type, the mobile country code (MCC), the mobile network code (MNC), the location area code (LAC) and the cell identification code (CID), separated by colons. The location of the cell can be querried on [opencellid.org](https://opencellid.org). More information is available on their [wiki](https://wiki.opencellid.org/wiki/FAQ). +These settings are turned off by default. These sensors require either [Background Location](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION) or [Fine Location](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission#ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) permissions, depending on what version of Android you run. -![Android](/assets/android.svg) The `bssid` sensor offers settings to let you rename the current mac address to help avoid the need for templates and secret usage in automations and the front end.
