Does anyone have experience with HA iPhones failing to update geocoded location ,rendering location based automation useless?
The short story is that I have a robust HA instance at my home that had all kinds of location based automations that worked wonderfully for my girlfriend and I. Recently she moved into a new apartment and I decided to throw together another HA instance for her and built out a great experience based on all the bad decisions I made at home. I was very happy with the results. However, I noticed that since we now have 2 servers and have to 3-finger swipe to move between them, the location for our phones is never right. When I go into the companion app and look at the geocoded location, it clearly shows wherever I am at in that moment. But when I look at either server, the last location is wherever it was recorded prior to the setup of the apartment server.
- Location is set to Always on both phones, all permissions are correct.
- I’ve tried creating users with unique user names just in case the tracking was impacted by that. I’ve also confirmed the device names are different just in case that mattered.
What am i missing? Is this a companion app limitation or am i doing something wrong?
Really appreciate any insight! Also apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I searched around here and on the googs and never found anything short of “your location permissions are wrong.”
