iCloud3 v3, Beta 10a - 1/29/2023

on GitHub

Beta 10a (1/29/2023)

• Fixed a problem when entering a zone that was generating the error message "local variable
  'zone_display_as" referenced before assignment'. This was generated when creating the zone enter
  trigger reason message.

Beta 10 (1/28/2023)

This update fixes some problems, adds a few new features and makes some minor changes, The highlights are:

• Added some FamShr & FmF checking to see if data for all configured devices was received from iCloud when starting up. If not, the data request will now be retried up to 2 times instead of giving an error that a device will not be tracked.

• Added an option on the Event Log Parameter screen to display the device's device_tracker zone using the actual zone name or the zone's display_as formatted name.

• Fixed a problem where the Battery and other text based sensors were displaying as numeric fields on the HA History screen.

• The NearBy zone will now only uses location results from tracked devices, monitored devices are no longer used.

• Fixed some problems when 2-devices in the Family Sharing list had the same name.

• And some other minor fixes and tweeks.

Change Log:

1. Updated the sensor and device_tracker attributes. Added 'sensor_updated' time to all sensors
   to be able to see when a sensor was updated in the Developer Tools > States screen. Removed
   the '_date/time' text from the attribute name for clarity.
2. Fixed a problem displaying the HA History for sensors showing text values (zone, battery status, etc).
3. Fixed a problem with more than one device in the Family Sharing List having the same name.
4. Sometimes, iCloud does not download all of the devices in the Family Sharing account when iCloud3 is
   starting. This leads to a device not found error and requires a restart of iCloud3 and a new request
   to iCloud for the Family Sharing devices. Now, iCloud3 checks to see if all of the configured Family
   Sharing devices and Find-my-Friends devices have been received from iCloud when starting up. If not,
   a retry request is made to iCloud (up to 2 times) before the untrackable devices error message is
   displayed.
5. The HA standard is to display the device_tracker entity state value/zone name in lower case with
   underscores like entity names ('pizza_hut'). An option has been added to the Event log Parameters configuration
   screen to override this and display the device_tracker state value in the same format as used for
   the Event Log (Pizza Hut, PizzaHut).
6. Fixed the 'Find my Phone' alert error.
7. The option to turn off the Passthru Zone and Stationary Zones has been made easier and a message
   is displayed in the Event Log during startup if they are disabled.
8. Changed the way a NearBy zone is determined to only che

   ck tracked devices. It was checking both
   tracked and monitored devices).
9. The current results of all devices are written to the icloud3-debug.log file every 15-minutes.
   This will help determine the cause of any 'tracking stopped' errors.
