@rob0225 Yes, those instructions are out of date and there have been many changes to HA since they were written. iCloud3 v3 beta was released 3 weeks ago. It is a complete and is a true HA integration with many new features. It’s looking pretty good and hope to expand the people that are trying it in a few weeks.
iCloud3 documentation is here if you want to take a look at it.
By any chance, is there anything in iCloud3 that defines “iphone_stationary”? For unknown reason my Android phone was tracked as “iphone_stationary”, while my iPhone was “Stationary”. This happened several times, which I can’t think what could cause it.
I posted a thread here. Please if you might know something.
@HA_n00b The iCloud3 custom_component creates a Stationary zone when the device has been in the same location without moving for a period of time. The ios app picks up it’s location and also puts it in the zone. The purpose is to save battery life by requesting the devices location fewer times. Expecially when close to home.
It appears the Android app also gets the Stationary and puts those devices in it too. You can disable the iCloud3 stationary zone by adding the stationary_still_time: 99999 parameter to the configuration.
Thanks, I will try that. I’m just wondering why the Android tracker uses “iphone_stationary”, that’s weird isn’t it. I won’t get confused if it uses “android_stationary”. Probably copy-paste error 
Note: impatiently iCloud3 v3. 0 
Isn’t it because the iPhone created a zone “iphone_stationary” (and shows it as “stationary”) and the androids use that zone (that already has been created by the iPhone) and show it with the complete name “iphone_stationary”?
After some digging, you are correct. The “iphone_stationary” zone was created by iPhone or iCloud3, I don’t know. I searched in the /config folder and found this reference:
In the icloud3-event-log.txt, I found this:
-- sys event -- 6:50:25p - - - - - Configuring Device > XXXXX (iphone), • Initialize Tracking Fields, • Initialize Zones, • Initialize Stationary Zone > iphone_stationary, • Update HA Device Entities, • Sensor entity prefix > sensor.iphone, • Initialize Sensor Fields
And I can see it in the Map view:
But, I cannot delete/edit it:
I cannot find it in the configuration.yaml.
So, how do I delete this? @gcobb321
You can’t. iCloud3 will always create it. You can set the still time so it never gets used and set it’s base location to somewhere you will never be (equator, in the ocean, North Pole) but it will always be created if you are using iCloud3
Oh?
I disable the iCloud3 stationary now as you suggested previously. I guess iCloud3 would stop creating that iphone_stationary zone.
But, I still won’t be able to delete that existing one? Because, if I go to that location again, that zone will be assigned to all my phones.
It has a ‘base’ location that is 1km north of the home zone with a radius of 1m so no one will probably enter it.
So, I restarted the Home Assistant.
Go to Map View
Edit Zones
Click the iphone_stationary zone
It is pointed to my friend’s house, which is not 1km north of the home zone.
But, as you said, the radius is 1m, hopefully I won’t enter it again when I go to my friend’s house.
Anyway, perhaps you can add configuration option to disable this stationary zone completely. Because it causes confusion when we have mixed phones, Android and iPhone. The iphone stationary zone could get assigned to the Android phone.
Hi,
I would like to say nice update this beta 9.
I updated from 2.4 to 3.0 beta two weeks ago 8b and now 9, no issue.
Except “RESET AND REAUTHENTICATE ACCOUNT > Request a new Verification Code” witch doesn’t work or maybe disable for beta.
Great work.
Fred
@FredWst At the moment, “RESET AND REAUTHENTICATE ACCOUNT > Request a new Verification Code” on the Actions menu can not be done from inside the configurator, it has to be done from iCloud3 itselt, It’s kinda confusing but the steps are.
I’ll at a way to make this better.
Also, If you could post questions and issues on the issues screen on this repository rather than the v2.4 forum. It makes it easier for me to keep the two versions apart. Click the ‘bug’ on the top-right corner of the Event Log screen and it will open the issues page.
Using Map, I created a new zone, named “This Cool Place”.
When my iPhone entered this zone, in the entity card, it is displayed as ThisCoolPlace, so without spaces.
Anyone has this issue? Know how to fix it?
On the other hand, my Android phones showed correctly with spaces in between words.
With the release of iOS 16.3 Apple has added the support to use security keys as MFA/2FA. Is this supported/tested with iCloud3 as this option makes a 2FA TOTP obsolete.
No. The physical security keys are used by an Apple device to authorize authentication of that device or another Apple device to the iCloud account. iCloud3 runs under HA so it is the HA device that is logging into the iCloud account, not the device being tracked.
Likely something simple to solve this but I can’t find the answer:
When one of us is traveling and at stationary overnight in location (eg hotel in another city), I noticed that the person’s entity location is stated as “stationary zone” which isn’t ideal for obvious reason since that’s not a real location.
What’s are the solutions for this?
iCloud3 creates the stationary zone when it detects the device hasn’t moved very much for a period of time. It sets the zone’s location to where the device is where while a true HA zone sets the device to the zone’s location. iCloud3 does not know the address of where it is. It only has the gps lat/long coordinates. When the device exits the zone, the zone is moves back to its base, usually 1km north of Home. The gps of the zone is changed again when the device is stationary at another location.
Each device has its own stationary zone.
sorry I’m not following exactly. Are you saying it’s by design that the person entity’s location is ‘stationary zone’ then in my example travel case?
