You need to be sure that you have filled in your Apple account and password in the app settings. Syncing time can be set on 1 minute. In the logging tab you can check if everything goes well. In this case the device button must be updated after 1 minute. Ps I did not test it on apple watch. But I assume that this works also.

Great, it is important to check that you do not get lots of emails from Apple that you loging in. It should be one of two emails and then it should keep the session open and not re-login until internet is lost or homey reboot.

Please make sure your settings in the app are okay. Check your iCloud user name and password and put sync time one one minute. Check also the logging tab 'to see if something is wrong.

You need to accept on your iPhone the question Some one is using you account is this ok. Press yes and you can skip the code that is send afterwards which is not needed for FindMe module on iCloud. Try to restart the app also check logging if you see an error.

Could you check logging and check if there is an error? If you use the Find my IPhone app working for you (on another device?)

No new logs after devices added

First device add log:

2nd time

</div>

So you where able to add a device. Could you go to the …/Apps (in the homey app) select family iPhones and then the cog-wheel and restart the app. Before that clear the logging and check if it starts syncing.
