iCloud3 v3.0.0 Beta 3

on GitHub

Beta 3 Change Log is at the bottom of this note

iCloud3 is now a true HA Integration that is added and configured on the HA Devices & Settings > Integrations screen. It has been completely rewritten, provides the function and features of v2 and adds many new ones.

When you add iCloud3 on the integrations screen, your current configuration will be migrated. See the Installation and Migration link below for a description of what happens and instructions.

Download the icloud3.zip file. It contains the custom/components/icloud3 directory and should be unzipped into the icloud3 custom_components directory. It will over right the iCloud3 v2 files.

THIS IS A BETA RELEASE. ANY BUGS, PROBLEMS AND QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE ISSUES PAGE OF THIS REPOSITORY, NOT THE ICLOUD3 FORUM. THERE IS A LINK TO THE GITHUB ISSUES ON THE EVENT LOG CUSTOM CARD (THE BUG IN THE UPPER RIGHT-HAND CORNER). THANKS.

ALSO, I HAVE OPEN AN ISSUE TITLED "BETA USERS". PLEASE POST YOUR USER NAME HERE SO I CAN EASILY LET YOU KNOW WHEN AN UPDATE IS AVAILABLE. YOU CAN ALSO SUBSCRIBE TO THIS REPOSITORY.

Beta 3 - 12/24/2022

1. Fixed a problem where the Configurator > Sensors would generate an 'Unknown Error Ocurred'
   error message. This was caused by an invalid sensor field name ('tracking_from_zones')
   in the configuration file.
2. Fixed a problem on the Configurator > Sensors screen dealing with an invalid 'battery_status'
   error message.
3. Fixed a problem where error messages were displayed getting device info from the HA device
   registry when the device was not in the registry.
4. Fixed a problem displaying the obscured email address if there was more than one @-sign
   in the address.
5. Added 'Reinitialize All Devices' to the Configurator > iCloud3 Devices screen. With it,
   you can remove all devices from iCloud3 or reset the selections for the iCloud FamShr & FmF
   and the iOS App parameters to None. This will clear any errors due to device migration errors.
6. Setting up the log_level (info, debug, rawdata) a lot earlier. It is now setup when HA loads iCloud3
   instead of later. Debug and RawData information should now be written to the HA Log file
   (home-assistant.log) when the iCloud Account connection is first established.
7. Moved Event Log Configuration option to Menu Page 1 and moved Display Text As option to Menu
   Page 2. Also added the Log Level parameter to the Event Log Configuration screen. This
   will reduce the steps needed to change the Log Level parameter when debug/rawdata logging
   is desired. ---> YOU MAY NEED TO REFRESH YOUR BROWSER WITH THE CONFIGURATOR OPEN <---
8. Fixed problem changing the devices Friendly Name that would generate an error message deleting
   tracking_from_zone sensors when they had not been created.
9. The device_tracker state value is now lower-case.
10. Log level debug and rawdata records are now written to the '/config/icloud3_debug.log' file
    instead of the HA log file. A new file is created every time HA starts.
11. The file extension for the Event Log file was changed from '.txt' to '.log'. The file name is now
    'icloud3-event-log_[time].log'.
