Google maps location sharing with more than 1 phone tracking

Anyone know how to get this working with more than 1 device shared with the google account. I have 2 phones that have their location shared with the google account i connect this component with but only 1 shows up in home assistant the known_devices.yaml?

bump anyone help with this?

I have Google maps tracking 3 people on the same account. There is nothing special to do. As long as your cookie file is correct, it just works.

It works for 1 user be no one else appears in known_devices.yaml ? not sure what I am doing wrong.

known_devices.yaml has been deprecated…I wouldn’t expect it to show up there.

I don’t know why you are having trouble with this, as I simply pointed each person to my “tracker user” and dropped the proper cookie in the config directory.

All 3 of us show up in Home Assistant. Nothing special, no special configurations…just pointed the users and setup the cookie and device tracker like the instructions state.

I have found the issue when generating the cookie file you can only be signed into 1 account otherwise this happens thanks for your input anyway.

Does this mean that this is the “fix”?

Delete cookie file,
Sign out of all google accounts,
Sign into tracking google account,
Create cookie file,
write cookie file to HA,
Reboot.

Hi dude,
Could you sort this out eventually?
I have the same problem (only one of the tracked devices shows up in known devices).
Appreciate it you can share the solution (if sorted).

For any future Googlers… I had the same issue when creating the cookie file with Chrome, but with Firefox it worked. Look at the docs for info on what extension to use with Firefox. :slight_smile:
