Location service does not work for me

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple

Hi

Love the new app although the location update between app and HA does not seem to work for me…

I Have 2 iPhone 6’s with 1.02 app and 0.42.4 HA version running at home.
Location enabled on both within the app and set to “always” in the privacy -> location setting for the iPhones.

No location update on the HA state page for any of them.

When I try to manually send location from the app, on 1 of the phones I see several error messages in the log correlating with the attempt (for the other phone with same action - no message appears in the log).

Check out the log errors here: https://pastebin.com/G9HjK7gZ

Both iPhones are long since listed in the known_devices (hide_if_away: false, track: true)

Up until yesterday I was using the iCloud service which I hope to replace with the app - but it does not seem to work (icloud reference removed from the config).

What should I do about it? anyone else has similar issues?

Have yoy added track_ios in the config?

zone.home:
    track_ios: true

I missed that, I set up mine in the 1.0 app, sorry for that.

So @cameron way is it not working for @Amir974 ?

It looks like you have the wrong name in your apps Device ID.

voluptuous.error.Invalid: invalid slug refael’s iphone (try refaels_iphone)

Thanks @cameron… so messing up with the ids in the known_devices is no good :weary:

I got the same problem.

"Location failed to update
Failed to send current location to server. The error was The operation couldn’t be completed. (SwiftLocation.Location-Error error 3.)

Ok now it worked. So it is an intermittent problem. But I have to manually invoke the location update from the HA
app. Even though I have it set to update always. It is version 1.1.1

I use This system and work fine for me

Is there a way to automatically have HA send a one shot to the map every 10mins or so?

This would sole a lot of location problems!
