[APP][Pro] Apple Find My

Halo,

I’m having trouble logging into the Find My app and could really use some help

I see a authentication failure

Device (iPhone) is found and displayed in the cloud.

@Lang try via Homey webapp (https://my.homey.app)

I want to use this app to get the location of my phone, when starting a flow. The later steps are to calculate the ETA based on this location. I have set the server interval to 0, cuz I will use this only a few times a year. So I want then call the update “apparaat gegeven”, to update the latest location, and then call my ETA. But when I call this, and check the device status, its latest update is 20hours ago. furthermore, some variables are update 21hr ago, whole some 20hr ago. What is going wrong? 003ad4de-c4da-4eaf-ab9b-8a302f8fc6f2

@Michel_van_Lier the device doesn’t look connected, can you try to repair it?

How to do this? I have installed the app +/20hr ago, and already disconnected? When I try to repair through the app, after logging in hangs in “loading”, while on the web app there is no such option?

@michel_van_lier Homey Webapp, right click - repair

yeah might be because you’re not updating it, so it looses the sessions (same as Find Devices - Apple iCloud)

Would there be a way to do this to minimise impact on battery?

@michel_van_lier, i would recommend a update every 2 hours and if that works try to increase the interval

Hi, Still not working :frowning:

How do I save a distance value to a BLL variable?
Example: “When distance from Home(y) in mi becomes less than ‘# tracker distance’ (a BLL variable) Then set ‘# tracker distance’ to distance from Home(y) in mi. I then so a “Send ‘# tracker distance’” to my phone.

The value I see in the ‘Send’ notification is 0.

FYI: I’m also posting this in the BLL thread.

@Chuck this is the Apple find my topic
For BLL questions please ask them in the BLL topic (like you already did) I can’t answer this

Hallo,

I think/experience wrong /too high distance to homey values for my iPhone 15 Plus (latest IOS).

I already saw that the distance to Homey in meters couldn’t be right a long time.

While in bed these values had a range of values between 35 and 44 meters which all would be in reality outside my apartment. Around 9-10 meters would more accurately . But whith that is still not such a problem

Wednesday I have been on a meeting that is around 10km distance to my apartment but in insights it shows at that time it was 97556 meters which is 97 km! That quite a lot different incorrect measurement that I I think to report it here for your information.

Do or do not anything you want with this information.

Thanks :folded_hands:t2:

@DoctorBazinga to double check is your homey location set correctly?
This app uses the location you set on homey settings as the “home” location

Dear Martijn,

I checked. Location of my Homey Pro 2023 is correct.

At the moment I’m sitting (max 50 cm!) right next my Homey Pro 23 and its saying 41 meters:

And Wednesday I had a meeting at the office of my accountant that is approximatly 10 km (straight line) from my apartment till 18:00 hours.

So maybe are the shown values no a ten or hundred fold??

Look I understand that it could not and would not expect it on the centimeter precisely. But a tenfold of hundredfold is a little bit extreme im my humble opinion.

4000 cm instead if correct 40 cm and 97556 meters instead of correct 9755.6 meters. :person_shrugging:t2:

Just my thoughts.

@DoctorBazinga can you send a diagnostic report? :slight_smile:

Of course:

Diagnostics report:

492a4864-d9fa-4443-904a-fe85fe08f665

By the way its nothing that giving me headache just a slight itch that you could get acquainted to. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

So no stress or hurry at all.

(and I know that public/civilian GPS is not so accurate and has an error margin of approximately 10 meters.)
