EDITED to add that I am only seeing this when turning on DEBUG logging.

I am seeing this in my HA logs:

2024-01-23 09:08:20.342 ERROR (SyncWorker_0) [icloud3] 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'next_update_secs' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/config/custom_components/icloud3/icloud3_main.py", line 276, in _polling_loop_5_sec_device self._main_5sec_loop_update_tracked_devices_icloud(Device) File "/config/custom_components/icloud3/icloud3_main.py", line 475, in _main_5sec_loop_update_tracked_devices_icloud or icloud_data_handler.no_icloud_update_needed_tracking(Device) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/config/custom_components/icloud3/support/icloud_data_handler.py", line 35, in no_icloud_update_needed_tracking elif (Device.is_next_update_time_reached is False ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/config/custom_components/icloud3/device.py", line 1416, in is_next_update_time_reached return Gb.this_update_secs >= self.FromZone_NextToUpdate.next_update_secs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'next_update_secs'

I've also attached a screenshot of my EventLog page. Was there anything I need to add or tweak in the config?

I think I have tracked it down to an invalid configuration item.

Can you do one of the following:

  • send your icloud3-0.log file to [email protected]. Also send icloud3-1.log and icloud3_2.log if they exist. They are older versions I can compare to the current version.

The 'track_from_base_zone': '' configuration field being empty ('') will cause this error. It should be 'track_from_base_zone': 'home' and I'd like to check it out. That field is on each device and in the general parameters. After you send the files, go to the Configure Settings > Update Devices screen and check the Primary Track-from-Home-zone override field for your devices and see if any are wrong. If it is wrong and an error message is displayed, set it to Home and restart iCloud3 as it normally does when you Exit the Configure Settings screen.

I followed your steps at the bottom - each appeared to be previously set. I then went and reselected that value for each device, along with a save and then a full restart. Now the errors are gone.

Was that error from the 1/27 rc10.1 or the one from 1/22. That should have been fixed in the 1/27 version

Edit: I was in the process of updating the GitHub Release to rc10.1 but will wait untilo you confirm it is fixed (or not). Thanks.

I've just uploaded v3.0.rc10.4. Visit the Releases page for more info. It should show up on HACS on 2/19 or 2/20 when HACS does a refresh. Or go into HACS, select iCloud3 and update it's information.

Nir,
As it turns out, everything is correct. The distance to the devices is the calculated distance is the straight line distance between two gps points. The _zone_distance and _home_distance state values is the Waze Route Driving distance between these same points. I have done some reformatting of these sensor's attributes and updated the documentation to explain this better. The '--Nir/iPhone', and the 'calc distance' are all in agreement (3.98km) as shown on the sample images you sent

I also changed the Device name in the attributes to remove the device type so you would use '--Nir' instead of '--Nir/iPhone' for your dashboard sensors.

Unzip rc10.5 below into the icloud3 directory and restart HA.

One of the past couple releases changed the minimum interval you can set a device to from 1 minute to 5 minutes.

5 minutes is not fast enough for the majority of my use cases. I know this is a conversation that has been had before, and suggestions using distance-from-home and/or Waze timing to address this, but those workarounds are not going to work for the following AFAICT:

  1. Going for a walk around the block w/o phone (Apple Watch)
  2. Driving to get coffee 1 mile away - I can be through the drivethru and back to my driveway within 5-10 minutes, which is not enough time to calculate workarounds in my experience.

Is there a setting or detail I am missing? 1 minute was adequate for almost all of my automations. When it changed to 5 minutes, nearly all my automations are failing.

Again, this is apple watch related. If it was iPhone only I could easily rely on the Companion app.

You can see the significant lag here:

PS: Congrats on the 3.0 release!

When the calculates the interval based on distance is less than 5-minutes, it uses that. For example when the distance goes below 1-km, the interval is 15-secs. I’ll look at how the Watch interval works this afternoon when I go to see Dune 2.

I base my Home arrive automations on north a zone enter trigger and the distance goes below .2

FWIW, i've never seen it at 15 seconds for the Apple Watch and I spend most of my time at the home location.

gcobb321 commented Mar 2, 2024

The 15-sec time would be determined when the watch or other device approached Home zone and is under 1km Away. When you are in a zone, the watches inzone interval determines when the next location update will be done.

The sensor.[devicename]_interval shows what the interval is. Also look at the Event Log for the watch while it is away and approaching Home to see what is actually going on at that time.

Are you planning to implement new authentication method for accounts which are protected with passkeys / hardware FIDO keys?

Reason is that traditional MFA with code popup is no longer available

I have just released a new v3.0. It does not effect current users so the version is still v3.0. However, I did change the Fixed Interval minimum value from 5-min to 3-min.

The Releases page is here and it should show up on HACS tomorow.

So as I understand, that depends actually from Apple?

Aha, in iOS 17.4 there is an option to manage web applications which requested passkey authentication. Looks like Apple is preparing to extend functionality. Fingers crossed

Hi @gcobb321! I'm seeing a behavior with my kid's integration, where it seems to frequently query FamShr for his battery level, even when he's home (which's the case in the picture below), and the trigger says it's at a 2h interval. I even tried pausing updates for his device, but I still see locate requests in the log after that:

Any ideas what might be happening here? Happy to open a bug if this warrants it, but just wanted to check first if I'm reading things correctly.

@pedropombeiro
When iCloud3 gets location info for one device, info for all devices is returned from iCloud. iCloud3 will update all devices with the location and battery status. When you pause a device, that device will no longer request it’s location but will be updated when others request theirs.

I have three zones.

Home
Lake
Neighborhood

I want to say if I exit Lake or Neighborhood and I'm moving towards Home do x. But I dont want x to happen if I am moving away from home. How would I write that condition?

thogens commented Sep 25, 2024

I'm new to iCloud3 and I'm wondering if there is any way to dynamically set the minimum interval to save battery on my kids Apple Watch.
My idea would be to set interval to 5mins, when usually school is over, so that I get notified "quickly" when my kid goes home. But I don't need 5mins interval over the whole day. That should save a lot of battery consumption, correct?
Any idea?

What do you mean with "automatic"? I set interval to 2h and the interval goes down automatically to 5mins? But what would trigger this?

I've set mine to the minimum i can (3 minutes) which is not as fast as it used to be in the older integration, which was 1 minute. I think this is the "in home interval."

If you look carefully at the logs, you'll see the interval change depending on what zone you are in or not in. Most of the time "it just works" where the interval reduces when in a stationary zone that isn't home, and gets more frequent when on the move.

There is also an automation or two the author of this integration suggests for pinging/updating devices when "approaching home."

See my post and Gary's comments above for more info (if you haven't already):

#258 (comment)

The 15-sec time would be determined when the watch or other device approached Home zone and is under 1km Away. When you are in a zone, the watches inzone interval determines when the next location update will be done.

  1. Ive updated/migrated to the latest version, I get stuck in configuration at an error saying mobile app integration is not installed (but it is). What now?

  2. A family shared device is missing, and when I press "add device" I get "Unkown error occured". What now?

The mobile app issue is caused by the mobile app loading after iCloud3 which is causing the ‘Monitor the mobile app’ to be reset if there is a problem when it is checked again after HA starts. The way this works has been changed in the next release ( not available yet). v3.0.5.10 will be released after I get back home. A prerelease is below. There is an error which can be ignored.

Unzip the file below into the icloud3 directory and restart ha.

After every Update i have the issue that every Entitie in HA got a new Name.
before the Update "sensor.homealone_arrival_time" and after the update the Entitie ist lost but i found all entities with new endings like "_2" or "_3" looks like this "sensor.homealone_arrival_time_3"
What can i do to prevent this? I have Version 3.1.4.1 installed.
