I have a ādummyā account setup that I am sharing my location with. This worked initially.
Also of note, this works with the older custom_component gplus.py
Hello everyone.
Yesterday, I upgraded HA and found iut about this. I created the dummy account and, after a first reboot, granted permission from my google account. IĀ“m running HA on a virtual machine running Lubuntu (working flawlessly), but IĀ“m getting the error message:

I erased google_maps.py, only to find out it was the component file. So IĀ“m not sure what to do next to erase the infamous cookie. Any help is welcome.
Issues here too. Hassbian, 0.67 installed, using my secrets file to pass the username/password into the google_maps component.
My error, repeated over and over again (in and amongst my various Platform cast not ready yet PITA messages) is (eg):

Edit for, you know, reading the last 50 or so posts: https://www.google.com/maps/preview/locationsharing/read goes only to the same āBad Request Error 400ā page for me. I do not have TOTP enabled either.
Second Edit: Nuked everything and started from scratch (cookies file, etc.). Also enclosed my password in secrets.yaml in apostrophes (because I did have various symbols in it). That all seems to have fixed it.
Mine went down 13 hours ago. Refuses to update. Iāve upgraded to 0.67.1 in a docker image and deleted the cookie file in my config directory. I get this:
Thu Apr 19 2018 22:29:50 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time)
Could not open pickle file, either file does not exist or no read access.

, source=/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/locationsharinglib/locationsharinglib.py>Hi everyone, sorry it has taken this long for me to help out, it has been a bit hectic. I have a new version of locationsharinglib v.1.2.2 with some added error handling so we can debug easier. Might I suggest we move the discussion about errors to the library https://github.com/costastf/locationsharinglib/issues so we can fix stuff? So please try out 1.2.2 and post issues on the library part until we iron them all out. Home assistant does not really have much to do with this so for anyone wanting to help troubleshoot this and fix it please use the library directly according to this documentation http://locationsharinglib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html .
There is also this branch https://github.com/costastf/locationsharinglib/tree/f-authenticate-interactively that deals with 2FA and if someone follows the discussion in https://github.com/costastf/locationsharinglib/issues/14 and can help out to have this fixed it would be great! Have a great weekend everyone!
I have merged the latest code in the 2FA branch and can validate that it works for me. People can use the cli.py on the root of the project to create their cookies. Please try out this latest code and report back issues on the issue tracker. If we get consensus that this code works for everybody, I will merge into master and make a new version of the library.
So I finally got this working this evening. It took me using my desktop which is Ubuntu installing the location sharing via pip and then running the cli.py to generate the cookie file. Once all of that was done nothing ever showed up in the conf file that it would create. On a whim I checked my known_devices file and low and behold at the bottom of the file was the maps entry. I then copied my mac address from my existing entry into that and all is right in the world. Thank you for doing this @costas I would rather use this over OwnTracks as would the Mrs.
I asked this elsewhere but suspect there is more likely to be someone here who knowsā¦
I really like this and I too would prefer to use it than Owntracks but what about restricting use of the api key?
I have tried all sorts of formats, for example:
MY_DOMAIN.duckdns.org:8123/*
MY_DOMAIN.duckdns.org/*
MY_DOMAIN.duckdns.org
but all to no avail. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
IĀ“m sorry, IĀ“m all for helping out, but I donĀ“t have the slightest idea of what to do. How do I get to install all that??
You donāt need to install anything, you can just git clone that branch and then try out the usage documentation.
Iāve tried to use the git release of the locationsharinglib and in homeassistant Iāve got a new device_tracker
source_type: null
friendly_name: google maps 11824xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX527
entity_picture: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxom8/photo.jpgsource_t
But there are no location information like latitude and longitude in that device_tracker
The state is always not_home.
Any hints?
OK. After uninstalling HA and locationsaringlib (LSL), wiping everything clean and reinstalling HA (a couple of times), it finally worked!
BUT, now IĀ“m getting an error message:

I hope itĀ“s just a bug, everything seems to be working fine. IĀ“ll share 2 more locations this afternoon and report back.
Great work!
You are using an older version of the library. You need to update the version in your component to the latest one which is currently 1.2.2
Apologies, I just realized that I hadnāt uploaded the latest version because I was waiting feedback on the 2fa feature and was hoping to merge that to this version. I just uploaded 1.2.2 that should fix some error issues in the logs while I am waiting feedback on 2fa from people.
Are you saying the app password method worked or didnāt work?
Do I have to turn on Allow less secure apps in my home assistantās google account under Apps with account access if Iām not using 2FA?
IĀ“m going to ask a very basic/silly question: If IĀ“m using an installed version (not git clone one), how do I get to update only the component through git pull?
Sorry for my newbysness
You can clone that branch anywhere and use the cli.py to get the cookies file. Effectively you donāt have to update the component, you just need to have access to that branch so you can use the latest code to create the cookies. I hope that makes sense, if not letās try to figure out what is confusing.
