Locative always showing my iphone as away

Configuration
1

I had previously set up Locative with my iphone, and the home/away status would update correctly, however, for some reason, my device was named “3b34c85d2a8646b9ac39a672895b4922” instead of the name of the phone.

Today I deleted the entry in the known_devices.yaml file to see if it would correct the issue. after a restart, my phone was not added again, so i deleted locative off my phone and reinstalled it, and set it up again according to https://www.home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.locative/

The entry was added to known_devices.yaml, however, it still has the same name, and now the device is showing as AWAY even though me and my phone are home.

I noticed that on the device states page, the souce_type is showing as “null”

My wife’s locative device is working fine

I haven’t been able to find any info on how to fix the souce_type: null issue, and have it show my phone’s name instead of what it shows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If still relevant, after 0.86 you need to use integration page:

To configure Locative, you must set it up via the integrations panel in the configuration screen. You must set up the app to send a POST request to your Home Assistant server at the webhook URL provided by the integration during setup. When you enter or exit a geofence, Locative will send the appropriate request to that URL, updating Home Assistant.
