I’m assuming the correct URL to download the .zip file is: https://github.com/gcobb321/icloud3/blob/ba21836a615d9a7b495458c7e654b943c93577c8/development-v2.3/icloud3-v2.3c.zip
When I download that to my Mac, I’m unable to decompress it with the built-in tool (which I use exclusively). I get the message that it’s in an unsupported format. I usually unzip the file and then move them into the target directory (icloud3).
@gcobb321 Thanks for clarifying this point. It may be helpful to highlight this in your release notes, its note immediately evident that this has changed with the new device: format/requirements.
Appreciate your support.
Cheers!
@WiFiNetGuy
Yes. That is the correct file. I updated it with 7z.
I just added a icloud3-v2.3 updated source directory with the 3 updated files and another zip file created by peazip. Maybe that one will work.
@WiFiNetGuy
The link that you have in your post is for the GitHub webpage for the file, to download the actual file you have to use the “raw” url, which for the file above would be:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gcobb321/icloud3/blob/ba21836a615d9a7b495458c7e654b943c93577c8/development-v2.3/icloud3-v2.3c.zip
The easiest way that I have found to determine the raw url for a file is to find the file that I want on the GitHub website, and then replace github.com with raw.githubusercontent.com in the url.
@WiFiNetGuy
When I click on the icloud3-v2.3x.zip file in the development-v2.3 directory, GitHub opens a download page. Clicking on download (right side of the screen) opens the ‘save as’ window and then downloads the zip file. If I open it from it’s saved location, everything appears correctly.
I’m on a Win10 PC system so it may be different on a MAC.
So I was right-clicking file from the link I shared above and “saving as…”. When I do that, it won’t open. So I did what you said above and it all worked fine. I was thinking the “Save Link As…” would work, too. Sorry for the confusion.
@gcobb321 Hi Gary, I’m just interested in why this alert happens and what it signifies. It eventually recovered, I’m not sure if it was after a reboot HA or iC3.
Cheers
@gcobb321 With RC2.3c I’m seeing a delta in the value of (km) being displayed/indicated from sensor.garbineiphone_badge , sensor.garbineiphone_zone_distance & sensor.garbineiphone_waze_distance (18.7km) v.s sensor.garbineiphone_calc_distance (14.2km). I have rebooted both HA & iC3 with the distance delta staying constant.
Waze parameters are disabled so I don’t understand where the distance discrepancy comes from.

I’m running v2.3c1. I’m getting hammered with iCloud authentications every 30-40 minutes. I copied the 2.3c1 files into the correct location. I removed the AppleID file from the iCloud folder. Upon restart of HA, I get an immediate authentication. Then it starts out every 2 hours, then goes to every 30-40 minutes.
I do not have the iCloud integration installed. I removed the iCloud3 integration then reinstalled, then copied the 2.3c1 files into place.
Not sure what else to do.
@WiFiNetGuy
Try this. Go to Event Log > Actions > Reset iCloud Interface at the bottom of the list. If it’s not there, you are not running v2.3. You should see the Apple login notification within 30 seconds. Then go through entering the code in the window selected in the HA Notifications area.
OK, something is definitely wrong somewhere in my config. When I scroll to the very bottom of the Event Log card, the very last line says: “Friday, January 8, iCloud3 v2.1 initializing”.
However, I’ve copied the v2.3c1 files into the icloud3 directory under config/custom_components. What am I doing wrong?
I hadn’t put the Event Log card in the right place. I have the correct Event Log card now, as I have the Actions button and have “Reset iCloud interface” now. However, I still have the “…iCloud3 v2.1 initializing” at the very bottom of the event log.
When I select the “Reset iCloud interface”, I do not get anything in the notifications area for entering a code.
@WiFiNetGuy
If you look in the v2.3 zip file, you will see 3 files
Did you unzip or copy all of them into the /config/custom_components/icloud3 directory? If not, nothing will work. And the version in HACS is v2.2.1. I would suggest you reinstall from HACS and then apply the v2.3 release candidate again to make sure the support files are up to date.
Thanks, Gary. I’ve done what you suggested. I moved the 2.3 files into place. However, my event log shows “initializing iCloud3 v2.2.1a” and not v2.3.
Yes, sir, I did.
@WiFiNetGuy
OK. That must mean the version in the /config/custom_components/icloud3 has a problem or it isn’t really v2.3.
1: Shows v2.3c
2: Did a search for “iCloud3” and “device_tracker”. Both searches returned no results.
3: Only result for icloud3: 2021-01-10 17:41:13 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.loader] You are using a custom integration for icloud3 which has not been tested by Home Assistant. This component might cause stability problems, be sure to disable it if you experience issues with Home Assistant.
Search for “device_tracker” returned no results.
4: I’ll do this next.
@WiFiNetGuy
#4. Rather than just sending me the home-assistant. log file, can you zip everything in the config directory and send me that file. That will show how you have set icloud3 up, the directory structure, the log file and anything else I might need.
OK, but my config folder is over 3GB.
