Icloud3 alternative

Never thought I’d say this but I find myself in need of (at least a temporary?) replacement for icloud3 the iphone device tracking integration. Apple keep breaking it and I need a reliable way to do location tracking.

In the past I’ve used life360 but that was not brilliant.

I do bluetooth tracking within the home as like a backup, but still would like another phone location/GPS based method?

Any ideas?

Thank you

The home assistant companion app includes a tracker.

as @tom-I writes, the HA Companion App has a tracker and it works a lot better than icloud.

Sorry to hear you say that. I tried my best, but Life360 didn’t make it easy. :wink:

FWIW, I do have an updated (custom) integration for Life360. It seems to be working fairly well (but, of course, that could always change, like it did, if Life360 tries to shut us down again.)

I also have an “enhanced” (custom) integration for Google Maps you might consider.

FWIW, I use both of these integrations on a daily basis with a total of eight phones (six Android & two iPhone, all using Google Maps, and four [Android & iPhone] also using Life360.) They all get fed as “inputs” to another (custom) integration, namely Composite.

ha I definitely wasn’t throwing shade at you, Phil! :slight_smile:
thanks for the tips!
