I assume that either my question is poorly formed or no one knows… What I want to achieve is the possibility to trigger a signal on a muted iphone and find it’s location, through homey. If there’s any other way to do this, please let me know if you know.

Is it even possible to trigger “find my phone” outside of an apple devices or the icloud website? Especially if you are using 2FA?

There is a client for it in Python. It would be possible to create an app for that. Problem is with 2FA, you have to interact with it quite often.

I see, yeah that makes sense. it’s unfortunate that there’s no sms-activation like there is for most Android similar systems… that would have solved everything. I’m not savvy enough to create an app I’m afraid…
