iCloud "Find my device" has huge delay

Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

I use the iCloud integration in Home Assistant and use the service “icloud.play_sound” to let my iPhone ring even if it’s muted. After activating the service it takes about 30 minutes until the iPhone actually rings. This delay renders useless for me.

Anyone has a suggestion why it takes so long?

Regards,
Stefan

I do not experience this, here is how I setup a switch to trigger this service.

    find_xxx_phone:
      friendly_name: Find xxx’s 11
      turn_on:
        - service: icloud.play_sound
          data:
            account: !secret icloud_email
            device_name: Xxxx's 11
      turn_off:
        - service: script.noop

I can get the notification within 10 seconds.

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

My problem disappeared without that I did something. Seems like it was a connectivity error of my phone or something.
