Hi!
How can I get rid of the blue circles (gps accuracy) on map?
Can’t find the right element in html/css to set it to transparent.
Thanks - M.

The only thing I have customized on the map is getting rid of the lines between tracked points on the map. See here in the iCloud3 docs for info on that. It might help a little.
Maybe someone else knows.
Hi Gary, looking forward to using this as it’s features look excellent. However I’m running into an issue, when I try to connect my apple account I put in my UN/PW and it takes me to the verification code screen.
My phone prompts that I’m trying to log in with apple, I allow and then it shows a code. When I put the code in, I get the error:
The Verification Code was not correct. Reenter or request a new code
I’ve tried and tried multiple times, deleted the account and re added, restarted iCloud3 V3 integration, restarted HA.
I’ve tried request a new code but that doesn’t prompt anything up on my phone.
Any idea why this could be?
Thanks

I fixed a bug with adding an Apple account but have not created a new release yet. You can download it here
Thanks Gary that worked a treat!
I’ve got this set up now and it looks like the lowest interval for location checking is every 5 minutes is that right?
With this it means that if I leave home a second after it’s just updated my location my automation to lock the door won’t happen for 5 minutes when it realises I have left home. Is there a way to change this?
I’d also like similar when arriving home, I want to arrive home and it unlock the door. Is there some way I can make this timing more close by in these scenarios?
Thanks

Having an inzone interval less than 5 minutes hammers the apple account with location updates constantly. This eats the battery and is not advisable. What you really want is a trigger that fires when you leave the zone.
iCloud3 monitors the HA Mobile App for zone changes and location changes and updates the location when needed. Other triggers include disconnecting from the home network, a failed ping, etc. which then fires an automation that does an iCloud3 locate to exit the zone.
If you are not using the Mobile App, it is a good idea to disable the Stationary Zone or set its inzone interval to 5 minutes.
The iCloud3 Docs has a section on sample automations. They are the ones i use when I arrive home. The Arrive Home automation triggers I use to one my garage triggers on a zone enter event or when the home_distance sensor goes below .2 miles.
Hi Gary thanks for your reply. So at the moment I have two automations set up that are similar to yours in the documentation but I had expanded them somewhat prior to using icloud3 to try and improve. - I can always provide them if it helps my questions.
My current state is:
So if a device using the mobile app leaves home it locks the door. But I was having issues where I could get 5 minutes from home before this happened. I tried changing zone sizes of ‘home’ which is currently 20m radius.
I have a front door sensor so I added automation so if that opens it checks what devices are already not home and ignores them and then checks every 20 seconds for the others and if one changes to away it locks the door. I’m not finding this the most reliable based on distance from home before it locks although I could reduce the 20 seconds to 5.
But then I also have a similar script to unlock on arrival. But I can be 500m+ from home and it unlocks the door or I drive past the home in that 500m place and it unlocks the door. Thankfully I have built in that when the door unlocks, if the sensor doesn’t open after 3 mins then re lock the door. On the other hand sometimes I arrive home and it doesn’t unlock for a little as it hasn’t registered.
So I think what I’m looking for really is a way to use iCloud v3 to:
Reliably Lock the door when I’m say 0.05miles from my front door and then unlock it when I come back home, but when I really am back in that 20m zone not ages away from home as well as actually register I am back each time.
I do use the mobile app so have both that and iCloud configured.
Can you help with any logic that is specific to iCloud v3 to help make this more reliable? If this is beyond the support you normally offer then please don’t feel you need to provide anything here, I can keep digging myself to try and understand this deeper.
@TeaPot91
A couple of things to think about.
Thanks, a typo on my original note - I am currently at 50m radius.
I’ll do some testing with your suggestions, thank you.
