iCloud3 v2.4.5 - October 6, 2021

Fix to restore the WazeRouteCalculator function (v2.4.5, 10/6/2021)

1. Fixed a problem where the Waze Route Calculator was being disabled and the distance method-calc was being used. The problem started when the WazeRouteCalculator module in the Home Assistant standard Python library was changed. This update uses a modified version of the WazeRouteCalculator that is part of the Python Standard library that was developed by Kovács Bálint, Budapest, Hungary. It has been customized to better support iCloud3.

Update to support iCloud+ change that broke Find-my-Friends tracking method (v2.4.4, 9/25/2021)

1. With the release of iOS 15 and iCloud+, Apple changed the url used to retrieve the Find-My-Friends tracking method data and location. This update uses the new url so the Find-My-Friends data is returned from iCloud Web Services.

iCloud3 v2.4.4 - September, 2021

This release fixes a problem created by the iCloud+ Account released with iOS 15. Apple changed the url used to access the Find-My-Friends tracking method.

Other changes:

• Minor changes to the Event Log.
• The last-update, next_update and last-located device_tracker attributes now show the full timestamp (2021-03-11 14:23:30) instead of only the time (2:23:30 or 14:23:30). The sensors for these items did not change.
• devices/device_name/track_from_zone parameter now supports multiple zones.
• Improved the zone name display formatting for zones with 's (Barry's House).
• Under the cover code improvements - code refactoring, removed dead code, improved configuration parameter processing, etc.
• Added the 'version' number to the HA manifest.json file in support of future HA custom component updates.

v2.3.5 Bug Fix Update (2/25/2021)

Edited 3/7/2021 (The iCloud3 version number did not change)

v2.3.4 Bug Fix Update (2/23/2021)

• Corrected the 'selwf' spelling error.
• Fixed a problem setting up the track_from_zone parameter. The zone(s) specified are now verified. Also, the track_from_zone zone name can now be either the zone name or the zone's friendly name.- The config_ic3.yaml configuration parameters are now being validated. Errors are displayed in the Event Log and ignored.
• Added a check for a mismatched quote (') in the config_ic3 parameter file. An error message is displayed in the Event Log showing the line number with the error.
• Fixed a problem where the 'True/False' configuration parameters were not being handled correctly.
• Removed all iCloud '2-factor-authentication' code.

iCloud3 v2.3.3 Maintenance Release

v2.3.3 Bug Fix Update (2/19/2021)

• The track_from_zone parameter is used to track from the home zone and an additional zone. It was not being accepted and creating an error, resulting in iCloud3 not tracking any devices.
• Changed invalid configuration parameter error messages so they are consistent and provide more information.
• Cleaned up and optimized some code.

iCloud3 v2.3.2 Maintenance Release

The following bug was fixed in the iCloud3 v2.3.2 update:

• The Name parameter was not being decoded correctly due to a bug introduced in iCloud3 v2.3.1.

Also:

• Added a device_type parameter to override a value extracted from the device_name parameter.
• Updated the iCloud3 version number which was not updated in the v2.3.1 release.

iCloud3 v2.3.1 Maintenance Release

The following bugs have been fixed in iCloud2 v2.3.1.

• The name specified in the Settings App > General > About > Name field (Gary-iPhone) can now be specified on the device_name configuration parameter. Previously, the value in the HA device_tracker entity id had to be specified (gary_iphone).
• When specifying the zone parameter in configuration file for a device. It should be 'track_from_zone'.
• When specifying how the zone displayed (display_zone_as: fname). It was always displaying the zone's name instead of the friendly name.
• When the devicename was duplicated in the Family Sharing List. If an older device has the same name as the newer device, the location was being requested for the older device instead of the newer device. The older devicename probably does not exist anymore so no location information was returned for it.
• When optimizing the device's tracking method. The Family Sharing tracking method was always selected for all devices if they were all in the Family Sharing list and in the Friends list on the FindMy App. In this situation, the Find-my-Friends tracking method should be assigned to each device.
• When the unit_of_measurement parameter was specified in the config_ic3.yaml as 'km'. The unit_of_measurement ('mi' or 'km') would be displayed correctly but the value being displayed was always the miles value.
• Cleaned up the iCloud3 code - Removed the old 2sa Authentication code, removed other obsolete code, cleaned up some messages, removed zone_name_1/2/3 and last_zone_1/2/3 sensors left in by mistake.
• Updated the iCloud3 documentation.
