iCloud3 v3.2.4 (8/17/2025)

on GitHub

🐞 Bug Fixes

1. Dashboard Builder:
   • Fixed an error reading the base template and dashboard files that are used to construct new dashboards.
   • Fixed a problem where all devices would be inserted into a dashboards instead of only the selected ones.
2. iCloud3 Log File - Fixed a problem when the log-level was set to 'unfiltered'.

✨ Improvements

1. Internet Connection Error - Added the following:
   • The Event Log error description message and alerts are added after the internet has been down for 1-minute to prevent very short dropouts from creating a lot of unnecessary messages.
   • Improved the error detection and testing done when verifying that Apple (icloud.com) can be connected to after the Internet is back online.
   • Added a 1-minute timeout to catch Apple location requests that have not been responded to. This is usually caused by IPv6 being enabled in HA. Appropriate tests and error messages explain that it is probably an IPv6 issue with instructions on how to disable it.
   • Improved the status message display messages.
2. iCloud3 Startup:
   • iCloud3 starts after HA has finished loading to prevent HA from locking up due to any iCloud3 errors.
   • Significantly reduced the startup time when the log_level was set to debug (4 devices with 15 sensors went from pver 10-secs to less than 1-sec).
3. Device Tracking - Devices not using the Mobile App (Watches) that are near other devices will be located 1-minute after the other devices have left a zone. This is not perfect and relies on Apple providing updated location data when it is relocated.
4. Device Setup - Added Device Type categories to indicate if the iPad and Watch is WiFi only or Wifi+Cell.
5. Tracking Results - The source of the GPS is displayed on the Event Log when a device's location is updated (GPS, WiFi, Cell, Unknown).
6. iCloud3 Log File:
   • Configuration file records were added to the log file when the log_level is set to info or debug.
   • Fixed some problems formatting the log_level debug records.
