iOS Location Tracking

Configuration
1

Hi guys,

I currently struggling with the location tracking on iOS. I read somewhere if I use the app no other additional app is necessary.
My thought was that everything runs automatically. BUT: When I dont update my location manually it shows my device always home.

I put iOS: into my configuration.yaml. The device is listed under known.devices. The name is “iPhone” no spaces or other crazy stuff. In the app, I switched on everything. It shows me that the iOS components were loaded.

Any ideas what I need to do?

Did you enable location tracking in the app?

In your privacy permissions is the HA app allowed to use your location at all times?

Hi Silvrr,

sorry for the late reply. Didn’t saw that you replied. Yes. Everything is enabled.

Do you have external access setup?

Can you post a screenshot of your location settings page in the app?

What does your event log say? Does it show events for entering and exiting zones?

I have a VPN on Demand Profile installed on my iPhone. But it gets only activated when I open an app which requests access to my homenetwork. I think this isn’t working for the HA App when it’s not opened. Nothing in the logs too

Here are the screenshots. It’s German but I think the switches are always in the same position. Also happy to help with translations :slight_smile:

Thanks Gary. Indeed similar but I think its about how to connect outside.

I´m able to do that. But even when I’m connected via VPN I need to update the location manually
