gcobb321 · March 8, 2020, 9:19pm

The Welcome to iCloud3 Chapter has 3 sections - Introduction, Setting up your iCloud Account & Setting up iCloud3.

Follow the steps in Setting up your iCloud Account and then Setting up iCloud3.

I’m seeing similar issues, along with errors in the HA logs (here)

gcobb321 · March 10, 2020, 8:30am

@B1G The editable: true attribute indicates you created the zone using the Configuration/Zone screen. Have you tried deleting them and then setting up the zones using a zone.yaml file instead?

You will need to force close and restart the iOS app after making changes to zone config to reload the zone data. It doesn’t look like Home Assistant pushes zone changes to the iOS app automatically.

iCloud3 v2.1 Release Candidate is now available on the iCloud3 repository.

Download it from the development v2.1 directory here.
The complete Change.log is here.

Overview of the changes:

Major enhancements to the iCloud3 Event Log card including the information reported on the card, visual improvements, debug logging from the card and others.
Major changes to how Stationary Zones are set up, located, displayed and used.
Updates, bug fixes and enhanced missing data error trapping for device tracking.
New sensors.

I will be finishing the v2.1 documentation and making it available for general release this coming weekend if no problems are discovered. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and have only been tweaking the Event Log messages so it’s pretty safe to download and use.

Move the Event Log file (icloud3-event-log-card.js) to where your lovelace custom cards are stored.
Move the other files (device_tracker.py, pyicloud-ic3.py) to the custom_components/icloud3 directory.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks

so I have created new iCloud account without 2fa on my iPod and send a friend request to my iPhone, I am able to see the iPhone from the iCloud web site.
I have added again the iCloud integration to HA but I can’t see my iPhone, I can see only the iPod, what am I missing?

gcobb321 · March 11, 2020, 6:48am

@Barak_Michaeli. You said you had “readded the iCloud integration to HA”. Are you talking about the iCloud you add on the Configuration/Integration screen? Or the iCloud3 custom commoner you add as a device tracker in a tank file?

If iCloud3, there are some links to Apple help pages here that might give you some things to check so you can get your devices to share their location. Make sure you are signed into the non-2fa account to see the shared devices.

If you are using the iCloud integration that is part of HA, that is a different program and you’ll need to go to the HA forums for assistance.

I deleted zones and readded using zone.yaml, deleted mobile app integration and reinstalled the home assistant app in all iPhones but It doesn’t work

here the log after a iclud3 restart

@B1G

There are still several things going on with the Zones. The Zone friendly name is actually the name of the zone specified in the zone.yaml file so I am not sure why it is generating an error. Look in Developer Tools>States, scroll to the bottom and compare the attributes of all of the zones to see if one is missing anything. One of my zones looks like:

hidden: true
latitude: 27.643783
longitude: -80.36151
radius: 70
passive: false
editable: false
friendly_name: Quail
icon: mdi:ferry

There is a new iCloud3 Release Candidate here. There are many changes (see the Change.log for the details) but one change includes a check for the zone friendly name being not available, a new Event Log card with a Debug mode, the ability to restart iC3 and more information is being displayed during initialization. The new Event Log may point to what is going on.
Download the updated files to the appropriate locations and lets see what is going on. The Changelog contains some sample screens of the Event Log and a note about what you need to do if the new buttons are not displayed.

Edit: 3/17 Let me know if the update solves your problem. I haven’t released it yet and want to make sure you are ok before I do. And to make fixes if it doesn’t.

gcobb321 · March 22, 2020, 2:52pm

iCloud3 v2.1 is available for download here

I’ve updated iCloud3 to add a few new features and to take care of some issues. The Event Log card has also been updated to make it easier to view events, display debug log information on the Event Log and to restart iCloud3 to view startup errors without restarting HA or going through the HA log.

Below is an overview of the new and changed items while the ChangeLog in the documentation lists each item in more detail.

Device Tracking

Added checks to recover when no contact data was returned from iCloud Location Services during setup
You can specify the device users name on the track-device configuratio
Added raw data debug logging
Internal changes.

Stationary Zone

Changed location of initial Stationary Zone to .5km north or south of the Home Zone
The Stationary Zone is not hidden when you exit it
Icons associated with the device are displayed on the HA maps
The Stationary Zone is relocated as you move within it

Event Log card

Added highlighting to major actions
The start-finish tracking activity sequence is tied together to easily identify the trigger results.
Added Debug & Restart-iC3 buttons
The sensor.icloud3-event-log entity is reset to only show the last 15 items after 5-minutes to reduce it’s size
Other visual enhancements

Other enhancements

iCloud3 Sensor Changes
pyicloud-ic3 Support Program Enhancements

Hi,

I just managed to get it setup but have some issues in the log:
Error > Event Log v.1.0 is being used. Clear your browser cache or add'?v=2.1' to the ui.

I’ve added the following to configuration.yaml

lovelace:
  mode: yaml
  resources:
  - url: /local/custom_cards/icloud3-event-log-card.js?v=2.1
    type: js

What could be the problem? I’ve cleared the cache multiple times and tried different browsers.

Also. Currently I have one device_tracker from the HA app. and one tracker from icloud3 configuration. Should they co-exists and should I add both to the person?

GaryK · March 22, 2020, 3:45pm

The Lovelace Dashboard tool shows the event log card as deprecated. Still working on 107.5, but thought I’d mention it.

gcobb321 · March 22, 2020, 4:01pm

@Daniel_Lim

I have had problems with new versions of the Event Log card showing up too. Changing the version number would cause the browser to reload the Event Log instead of using it from the cache. However, when going into ‘Inspect’ mode in Chrome, the HTML link to the Event Log still showed the old version number. It was acting like HA/Lovelace was not reloading the configuration information. I suspect it is because of moving the Lovelace resources from the ui-lovelace.yaml file to the configuration.yaml file but can not put my fingure on it. First try restarting HA. If that does not work, try changing the version back to 1.0 (?v=1.0) and see what happens.
You will have a device_tracker for the iOS App and a second one for iCloud3. But the names must be different. The iCloud3 name will be the one on the track_devices parameter (e.g. gary_iphone) and the iOS App will be the one with the suffix (e.g., gary_iphone_mobapp).

gcobb321 · March 22, 2020, 4:06pm

@GaryK I still using the Lovelace yaml mode and have not moved to the dashboard. I’ll check it out when I get a chance. I just updated to 0107.1 a few days ago and everything was fine there. Looks like a lot of HA fixes on 3/20 & 3/21 to get to 0.107.5.

Edit: I just upgraded to 0.107.5 and did not see any exceptions in the HA log file for the Event Log card so it must have something to do with the Lovelace Dashboard.

Daniel_Lim · March 22, 2020, 4:37pm

I changed it to v=1.0 and even tried to remove it. Have restarted HA multiple times. Still the same message.
So should I connect both of the trackers to a person?

gcobb321 · March 22, 2020, 4:41pm

@Daniel_Lim

I moved the Lovelace resources back to ui-lovelace.yaml file. See if that makes a difference while using the ?v=2.1 suffix.
You can if you want to but iCloud3 doesn’t have any ties to a person. ic3 tries to decode the users name from the devicename but, if it is not what you want, you can specify the person/user name on the track_devices parameter line.

Edit:
3. Does the new version load on your iphone or ipad or a different computer?

GaryK · March 23, 2020, 12:01am

Not seeing this with the latest.

Update: Working now. I think.

Daniel_Lim · March 23, 2020, 8:19am

I had a catastrophic failure with my hacs so everything was lost. Was able to restore from a snapshot and install everything again.
I skipped using yaml mode and added the resource with the ui. Now it seems to work
Thanks!

I’m getting “WazeOff” on waze_distance. Any idea why?

eBoon · March 23, 2020, 12:27pm

I’m still getting this -

even after updating:

multiple reboots, clearing of cache and refreshes. Nothing yet. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Tom

GaryK · March 23, 2020, 12:55pm

Resource deprecation was just modifying “type” from js to module.

scotty1395 · March 29, 2020, 11:06pm

Is anyone seeing some times in the log or sensors being 30 minutes into the future?..
