It looks like that submitting location data to HA does not work on my children’s devices with Google family link installed. Can somebody confirm this behaviour?
try these steps on the device in question if issue still persists keep reading and look at the location tracking history
Family link does not hinder device trackers in Home Assistant.
The only thing I did not check properly are battery optimizations. I’ll check that and report back here.
depending on the device manufacturer you may need to turn off more settings. Samsung for example adds things like power saving on top of battery optimizations
All are recent Lenovo/Motorola devices. My wife’s worked without any tweaking. But my children’s do not.
Thanks for this recommendation. Looks really helpful.
Now I just have to get hold of my kids’ mobiles…
Turned out it was a Layer 8 problem.
