So I turned off the use HA cloud option and made sure the URL was set to my ha cloud URL manually which is actually a custom URL but fully validated and all works fine when accessing either via app or browser but still get the failed to send message in the location debugging.
Ok, so I tried all this and did nothing but did the starting fresh and that works although I’m oddly having notification issues with android phone - iPhone works fine
Using the developer tools service and automations iget the following error
“Failed to call service notify.notify. Device not connected to local push notifications”
The notifications work fine if I send to the specific android device though.
I am having the exact same situation (Pixel 7 Pro). I am new to HA so this is the first time I’m setting up the companion app. Companion app does not update unless I’m at my home location. I have followed all steps in the troubleshooting post.
Insterstingly, I am coming to HA because I have been having issues with location tracking with my Smartthings system for a while. Now I am starting to think it is a phone issue.
Logs on the companion app say “background location - Failed to send”
Now look at the logs from the previous menu under troubleshooting you should see the actual error there. It will help give a clue as to what’s going on.
I have a similar problem.
I’m using Nabu Casa cloud connection and can manage all aspects of my HA from anywhere.
My phone with companion app only reports location successfully while at home, and has Location failed to send messages when away.
I deleted the app and reinstalled it, after first checking that I could log in to Nabu Casa and retrieve my URL.
Login to the app, while away from home, via Nabu Casa worked seamlessly.
Location now works and there is nobody home.
