In the end, the tracking seems to be working.
What may have helped:
- Setting “track” to “true” ;
- Adding “device_tracker.me”, “device_tracker.she” to “.storage/person” manually as they were not available for configuration through the UI;
Today, I added an optimisation to the recorder that has also hidden updates to the device_tracker state. I did not need to renable the recorder for the device_trackers, but it may help during debugging.
These are the relevant lines from my configuration.yaml that had device_tracker listed in the exclusions - I only added this configuration after trying most alternatives above, but I mention this in case you have it active:
recorder:
exclude:
domains:
#- device_tracker
