Homekit not recognizing iPhone location?

Third party integrations Homebridge
12

I am using a combination of modules as stated before, I found the iCloud app useful for zones and alerts me when home or at family’s or friends. The HomeKit app in apple will activate when u arrive or leave locations when setting up the automations in the apple HomeKit iOS app I use this to send alerts when kids home from school etc. I use a lot of automations in the HomeKit app as everyone in family can easily use and create there own

Digressed again

Retry icloud

EDIT

as stated in hassio components

" The icloud platform allows you to detect presence using the iCloud service. iCloud allows users to track their location on iOS devices.

It does require that your device is registered with “Find My iPhone”.

To integrate iCloud in Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file: "

# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  - platform: icloud
    username: USERNAME
    password: PASSWORD
    account_name: accountname

icloud has better features than using the ios component alone and will automattically add your new devices and more stats for each ios device in HA.
