Sort of, i reverted to my old config using 2 automations per person i track.
Did some testing this evening. Devices not associated with a user had the old format of the email subject. Having two distinct email subjects is troublesome. After some checking on https://app.fing.io, I found the setting that reverts all email to the original format. I changed the setting to “Plain style” as shown below.
All the emails look the same again, so I reverted my configs to how they were originally and everything is working again for me.
I think we should try force Fing support to add MQTT (or another form of local communication) to Fingbox to send data about our devices to our home automation systems. I have sent some e-mails to the support in this matter but with no effect.
Would have been great, i think it will be hard. They have an api, but you have to pay to use it, so i guess there will be no free mqtt service. 
I’m angry because I was a sponsor of the device that now uses data about my devices, the producer earns money on this data (paid SDK) but I can’t use this data without problems.
Upgraded to 0.94.1 and for some reason, the device tracker is not updating although I am still receiving emails that a person in Offline or Online. Anyone else seeing this issue? This has been my most accurate method for tracking a person, hate to lose the functionality.
I’m using 0.94.3 and I believe that my setup is continuing to work using the methods described above.
If your setup is the same as mine, are you seeing the sensor.fing_state updating? When you restart hass, you can see this sensor changing as it reads all the email in your inbox (at least that is what I see). Perhaps you have a lot of email in your inbox and it is getting confused?
I do have a mail filter setup to delete old messages (and a google account specifically for fing alerts). The rule looks like this:
Thanks for your reply.
My sensor.fing_state shows “unknown” . I have looked at my setup and it’s the same as yours. I also checked my account an password for safe measure and it seems good.
I had a rule to delete emails that are older than a day, but did not specify the “From:” so I thought that it would delete every email more than a day old. It was obviously not working since I had over 500 email in my inbox. I did a cleanup except for the most recent, changed the rule and restarted HA. The sensor still shows “Unknown”
I am wondering if I am getting blocked somehow by gmail. One thing I noticed is that my emails would be marked as being read almost automatically, now they are showing up as never been read. So I am either being blocked or my imap is not working for some reason …
I’m a little bit disappointed as this was one of my most reliable tracking method.
Turn up the logging and see what the output is telling you in the home-assistant.log. I bet you that you have either 2FA on the account or something is happening with the account. Google does automatically block activity that it thinks is fraudulent. I bet they are blocking you.
If the email it not being marked as read, then hass is not able to check it.
Thanks Gervais,
I will turn up logging and see what happens, I know that I don’t have 2FA, so I am leaning on being blocked. I’ll search and see if there is anything that I can do about it. Really don’t want to use IFTTT.
Not sure if this is the right post… but Fing just enabled API access to Fingboxes: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/fingltd/localapi/1.0.0
Fing app lets me enable local API and see device status as well.
Android App:
It works!!

Good find. Where did you find this setting in the Android app? I’ve looked everywhere and don’t see an option to enable local api??
@mboarman So I joined the Fingapp beta a while ago through the play store, so maybe a new feature? In the Feb 1 version 10.3.0, it added this in the readme:
WHAT'S NEW
• Added possibility to check device warranty details directly from device details screen
• Added device price class and product class in device details screen
From the app, go to the network(s) that have a Fingboxes in them (I have two), and then go click the Fingbox settings:
From there, scroll down to the API setting and enable it:

Thanks for clarifying, I can confirm the regular version of this app 10.2.0 does not have this option. Let us know how it works!!
Usually they have a quick release cycle, so if you can’t join the App Beta in the play store, I suspect it will be available in the next week or two. I believe this is the link to join the beta for those wanting to check it out: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.overlook.android.fing
Not sure how much I’ll be able to play with it before others do, but was pretty excited to see it. The data I think is all there for HA location ability for tracking 
I haven’t seen any formal announcement on yet, I just happened to see the release notes about the “new fingbox device details” and went to check them out and was surprised to see the API option.
If anyone develops an integration for this, hoping it has support for more then one fingbox as I have a couple on different network segments. I’d love to do this, but just don’t have the time for a bit and while written .NET plugins for my last home automation software I used to use prior to HA, not familiar at all with the way HA does integrations.
For other’s curious, hitting the API endpoint is super easy, literally http://FINGBOXIP:PORT/1/devices?auth=APIKEY where APIKEY is preset but overrideable in the UI. No https yet that I can see, but a great start at least.

So thanks to your help I was able to get on the beta program for Fing. However, after getting the Beta app I still don’t see the local API access option. Are you a premium subscriber by any chance? I’m wondering if they are holding this back for the elite tier.
My Fing app is version 10.3.0 and I don’t have Local API option in settings. @noebl1 What is your Fingbox firmware version?
CRAP, I bet that’s it. I had been using the Domotz monitoring on the Fingboxes for awhile. On Black Friday they had a deal for 50%? off on the Fing premium that I wanted to compare functionality vs the Domotz monitoring that I totally forgot about that. Sorry for the false hopes.
