I started using the iCloud presence detection feature over the weekend.
The iCloud piece was able to detect my location, and place me in specific zones.
But, as others on the forum have highlighted, it caused a significant battery drain on my phone, to the point of turning my phone off.
My understanding is that when we are away from the Home zone, HA pools the iDevice every 1 min to get its status.
Would it be of any use to build an automation to set the " icloud_set_interval " to 15 mins, when the device leaves the Home zone ? Would setting this value cause HA to poll icloud for an updated location once every 15 mins ?
Thanks in advanceā¦
