Introduction

Simple little blueprint, crafted based on this comment: iCloud3 v3 iDevice Tracker - Version 3 Prerelease version is now available - #1186 by gcobb321

Useful for forcing icloud3 to update based on another device_tracker, for example when the phone disconnects/connects to the home network, for icloud3 to run the location update.
