Tile Component having some problems lately?

Configuration
1

I managed to have the Tile Component working for a while now. Now with all the various updates lately it seems to be crapping out.
Logfile below.
No rush. Packing up the Hass.io tinkering session for the night.

If simple detection is all you need there are alternatives:

Not really. I choose Tile because of location services and for the availability of a Hass.io component . When it was working, it did so quite well enough for me to set up zones for work and home and a few other locations. It’s too bad the component seems to be crapping out with no explanation.

Tiles do flake in & out for up to a minute sometimes, even just sitting there without obstructions.

5

I get that. I don’t think the error logs are a reflection of that. It looks more like an inability to connect to Tile services. Perhaps they’ve changed the services they offer?

6

If you have identified an issue you need to post them to the github page associated with the component. Developers don’t much hang around here.

I figured. I wanted to make a quick check if it was everybody or just me before I pushed it “upstairs”.

Hello,

I am also thinking of activating the Tiles integration with HassIO 0.91.0. Are the problems you mentioned earlier still lurking around or solved yet.

Last time I tried I did have the problem of my old/deactivated/disabled tiles also showing up, later on I learned I can hide them with a parameter in the configuration.yaml file, or else I can email Tile customer support to disassociate old disable tiles from my account. Never tried it afterwards though.

Are you still using the tiles integrations and making some useful automation out of it.

Thanks.
