Device tracker not generating known_devices.yaml

Configuration
1

Hello,

I have a new HA Green device.
I need to track an iphone when comes and go out of home (in other words when it connects and disconnects the wifi).

I have a UPC connect box. Trying to follow the guide: Device tracker - Home Assistant

Now my configuration.yaml file has:

 cat configuration.yaml 

# Loads default set of integrations. Do not remove.
default_config:

# Load frontend themes from the themes folder
frontend:
  themes: !include_dir_merge_named themes

automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

# Upc device tracker
device_tracker:
  - platform: upc_connect
    password: mypassword
    interval_seconds: 10
    consider_home: 300
    new_device_defaults:
       track_new_devices: true

Then I tried to:

  • check the configuration - it passes / green
  • reload the configuration
  • restart the device

It doesn’t create the known_devices.yaml file in /root/config

What else can I do/check?

You could also try out Theengs Gateway Add-On, which will automatically discover am iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and many other Bluetooth devices as device_trackers.
