PHLocation V2 Discussion

I do have it connected to iCloud

Do you have iPhone Devices created, because they have nothing to do with GeoFency. GeoFency does not have “users” as related to PHL Triggers and Zconditions. Can you post a screenshot of your Users/Devices page?

Are you currently running the original PHLocation? PHL2 is functionally similar. When I get my day started, I will post in more detail.

Okay that pointed me the right direction, thanks! I did not have a device/user created with the IcouldDevice association. I had falsely assumed it would have know my devices / users by connecting my icloud account. I had only created a single device/user that was associated with the geofency app...

I think it's working now and it was just a bit of a failure on my part.

Thanks again!

So for anyone else, after connecting to the service account you still need to create a device/user that is linked to that account.

Good. If you look back at post #14, I pointed you in that direction.

Now if I can just get it to stop doing this:

Here is a link to the original PHL user guide. It will help with some of the concepts and the difference between position and fence applications.

I need to see some screenshots of your setup, specifically showing the device with a RefID of 430. For now you can deactivate that account. I don’t understand how it can be polling every 20 seconds.

There is no longer a device with RefID 430... That's the one I removed when I tried removing and re-establishing my iCloud service account. The old one was 430... the new one is 457. There must be a link somewhere to 430 in the config maybe? I'm guessing that should go away when removing the account, but it didn't..

Also, I asked above if you were using PHL before installing this PHL2 beta?

There may be a device linked to it. Can you show me screenshots of your service accounts and users/devices pages? Did you create any events?

Sorry, Yes I was... however I disabled the PHL1 plugin in the plugin manager.

The events are fine now... I was able to create them once I had created the user connected to iCloud account (which I didn't quite understand before) However during that process I removed my first iCloud service account (REF 430) and created a new one (REF 457)..

Here are the screen shots. I've look at all of my devices in the device list and there just isn't a device anymore with that 430 reference which I'm sure is why that polling error is popping up.

One more thought. Did you delete the HS devices, the PHL2 service account or both?

I see the account is not there. Try restarting the plug-in and/or HomeSeer

this is exciting. I was using egofency with my android... so hoping (haven't looked yet) there is a good android alternative.

My question is the best way to remove the original PHlocation?

thanks!

I wouldn’t recommend removing PHL1 until you have PHL2 running. The only additional service account is Life360. Otherwise it is the same as PHL1.



To remove PHL delete it on the device management page and delete the HS Devices. Only do this after you have removed or reconfigured your PHL1 Events.
