Google Maps Device tracker

Configuration
1

I’m seeing an issue with the Google maps device tracker element, it worked for a few days and has now stopped updating.

When I run a debug on device_tracker and locationsharinglib I can see that it is pulling back the updated gps location for each user but is not populating it into homeassistant. The device state just shows as Null. In the logs I’m seeing locationsharinglib.service retrieve the data for each user I’m tracking (checked the timestamps and it is not historical data it is live) and then the next entry is locationsharinglib.Service Could not load people, response

This is not the issue with the cookies file or a captcha issue, the data is being successfully pulled from google to my HA.

Has anybody else seen this issue or any ideas?

I have the second problem. I am noticing this problems since going maps got updated

I’ve noticed that it stops working for me after 14 days. After that, I have to delete the .google_maps_location_sharing.cookies file and then restart HA. It’ll work immediately after that.

It seems as though the cookies are expiring after 2 weeks (which is normal) and just aren’t being refreshed automatically.

I’ve tried deleting the cookies file and restarting, the cookie gets recreated. When I set it to debug I can see that it is able to pull down the location it just never finds it’s way into the HA database.

I seem to be having the same issue. It was working fine yesterday, now today home assistant is showing all my devices at home and there is no address or any other info associated with the devices. I’ve tried deleting the cookie also and does not work.

My cookie file gets recreated after I delete it and then restart HA, but I don’t want to have to keep restarting every 2 weeks for no other reason than for my device trackers to keep working.
