I have three accounts running with iCloud3 (since January). There have been some ups and downs, but overall very positive, especially since 1.0.0. Now on 1.0.2, and will shortly be adding a fourth account.
I only have include_device for each account to single out the iPhone.

Have you looked at ‘include_device_type: iphone’ to get all iphone devices at once instead of adding them one-at-a-time. Also, using the device_type, I believe you can just use the icloud_command - restart and it will restart iCloud3 without restarting HA and probably pick up the 4th device.
This caused many exceptions. Please see log below:

Weird. This flag is set when devices are first initialized. I’ve even tried it with no devices and don’t get the error.
I can make sure the variable exists and send a copy of it to you to see if it solves the problem. Send your email address to [email protected].
Hi,
I turned on debug logging for this component and that led me to the realization it was setup to use an old iCloud.com account. So I fixed that.
But now I don’t seem to get anything displayed and the logs indicate many unknown devices, etc. See below.

A few things I noticed…
It does look like you have a lot of old devices and will have to clean that up in your Apple icloud account. Nothing I can do about that.
It looks like Waze is not available on your HA computer. Google github WazeRouteTracker for instructions on setting it up.

You have to have some type of include or nothing will get loaded.

It seems you are trying to write special characters to some of the sensors which cause issues with certain DB back ends. See below.
Perhaps this works ok on SQLLite back end? Surprised someone else hasn’t found this already as Mysql is pretty common.

Yes, it’s a utf-8 character that has been at the beginning of messages in the info field to separate one from another. Ive been using it for a long time and have not heard of any issues related to it from anyone else before now. It’s just a message field that doesn’t really contain any important data so maybe you could filter the fields you are working with.
iCoud3 v1.0.3 Device Tracker released Thursday, 3/28/2019
Download it from the iCloud3 Github Repository.
Thanks for this, looks really nice. I have installed it and it works like a charm. Good to see so much info.
I noticed the boolean stating “driving” but that is your version when your almost home.
The thing is that i thought it was a sensor at first that would only indicate if your moving or not. So i looked into the sensor and found the sensor._speed. Which looked like how fast a person is going. Tried that out while driving some times but it makes no chances.
Do really like the whole “if moving and condition is x and y then poll in a differente fashion”
Hi,
Just installed this so haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but noticed in the documentation you have:
waze_region
The area used by Waze to determine the distance and travel time.
Valid values: US (United States), NA (North America), EU (Europe), IL (Isreal). Default: US
I’m in Australia, so I’m assuming that the Waze stuff won’t work?
Not sure if it’s just me but this appears to be broken in 0.92:
Configuration invalid
Integration icloud3 not found when trying to verify its device_tracker platform.
Having the same issue here after upgrading to 0.92
Just need to rename the file device_tracker.py to __init__.py and it’ll be back working 
My bad, firstly I’m actually using icloud3, and secondly you need it se up like this: https://github.com/gcobb321/icloud3/tree/master/custom_components-icloud3
Gary,
I love this plugin (when I get it to work) but since 0.94 I’ve had it working once and then nothing since. I keep getting Unable to find service device_tracker/icloud_update in the logs.
What am I missing?
TIA
Neil
All iCloud account access is down due to changes made accessing the iCloud account. The best way to follow iCloud3 and keep up with news/updates if here
Thanks Apple!
And thank you Gary & team for all your hard work
I have everything set up and running, but how do i know or link the ha iOS app to the service? It seems to be relying only on iCloud at the moment. i have the names matched up in the ha app and in the iPhone general about setting
I’m getting a ton of these sorts of errors with MariaDB. Is there a way to fix this?
