I am using hass.io and looking to connect the Home Assistant app to my instance of Home Assistant. After downloading the app and configuring it, I am able to get it connected and the battery and plug/unplug status are showing but i have been unable to get the presence to show. Of course, I have searched (and search and searched) but I just seem to find old issues and hacky work arounds. Does anyone know what I can do to get this to work or start to figure out what is wrong?
I am currently on version 58.1 but this existed on previous versions.
In the ios app I have a check next to “iOS Component Loaded” and “Device Tracker Component loaded”.
I use SSL with a commercial certificate authority.
I have attempted to remove the app on my iPhone and clear settings but they still appear to be there. Even after a phone restart, Cleared the ios configuration file, multiple restart combinations. For reference, I have also attempted to connect another iphone and received the same results.
I upgraded from 0.58.0 to 0.59.0 today and also lost the Home Assistant app location functionality.
I’m running a pip install version on a Raspberry PI3.
I saw the release notes mention something about iOS configuration but are you saying that you experienced the problem that i describe and now that you have upgraded to 59.1 it is no longer a problem or are you simply saying that you have 59.1 and you do not have the problem?
@talondnb thanks - it’s already set to always and i also have background refresh turned on. One strange thing i noticed is that i can’t seem to remove the old settings in the app. I remove the app from my phone and restart it. After that i reinstall it and there are all my settings from before. So, if something is off in the background i don’t know how to remove it for a fresh start. I don’t know whether or not there is but seems sort of strange.
