This release fixes a few things and updates two big things that touched a lot modules.

  1. All references to the iOS App have been changed to Mobile App. The iOS App was referenced all over the place.
  2. iCloud3 now uses the same HA Zone internal settings (latitude, longitude, radius, passive state) instead of loading them when starting up. The result is changes to existing zones, and adding and deleting zones now does not require an iCloud3 restart to load the new zone settings.. This change was in all the code dealing with device tracking and stationary zone handling.
  3. It also changes a few messages on the Event Log during start up and changes the minimum zone interval times to 5-minutes to prevent conflicts with old location timings.

Installing using HACS - iCloud3 is not available on HACS unless you have set it up as a custom repository. See here for instructions on how to do that and then install it. If you just go to HACS and do the installation, you will be installing v2.4.7, not v3.
Manual Download and Install - Go to the iCloud3 Releases page here. Scroll down past the notes, then select Assets, then select icloud3.zip. Download the zip file and unzip it into the /config/custom_components/icloud3 directory. Then restart HA.
Migrating from v2.4._ - See here for instructions on migrating from from an older version.
iCloud3 v3 Documentation - It is still in process, does not include the latest updates to iCloud3 and can be found here

Change Log:

  1. NEARBY DEVICES - Changed the distance to another device routine so it would not calculate the distance to 'itself', which is always 0.
  2. WAZE HISTORY MAP - Fixed a problem displaying the Waze History gps locations on a map.
  3. MOBILE APP INTEGRATION - A check for the Mobile App Integration installation will now be done when setting up the iOS App devices and, if the Mobile App setup had not be completed, again after HA had finished starting up.
  4. HA ZONE ADD/DELETE/UPDATE - When a zone is added, deleted or updated on the HA Settings > Area & Zones screen, iCloud3 had to be restarted to load the new zone settings. This is not longer needed. iCloud3 will now update the zone settings when they are made or on the next location update.
  5. IOS APP --> MOBILE APP - All references to 'iOS App' have been changed to 'Mobile App' for consistency with HA.
  6. CONFIGURE SETTINGS - Fixed a problem loading the Device Picture and Event Log www directory selection lists when HA was installed on system in a directory other than /config.
  7. WAZE HISTORY - Fixed a problem where refreshing the HA Map Waze History Locations could be started again when it was already running.
  8. WATCH & OTHER NO-MOBILE APP DEVICES - When an iPhone leaves a zone, devices without the Mobile App (Watch) are updated immediately to see if they are still in the zone or have exited too. If the last locate time for these devices is still valid, the update was not done and they remained in the zone. Now, if the location time is within the last 3-4 minutes, a location request will be made until the location time is after the first device left the zone.
  9. EVENT LOG - Some updates were made to the Event Log (v3.0.17). They will be installed and a browser refresh on all devices will be needed.
  10. EVENT LOG - Distances are now displays all distances in the Event Log in miles/feet or kilometers/meters based on the parameter setting.
