Apple iCloud
The icloud integration allows you to detect presence using the iCloud service. iCloud allows users to track their location on iOS devices.
There is currently support for the following platforms within Home Assistant:
It does require that your devices are registered with the Find My service.
Configuration
Adding Apple iCloud to your Home Assistant instance can be done via the user interface, by using this My button:
If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:
- Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
- In the sidebar click on Configuration.
- From the configuration menu select: Integrations.
- In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.
- From the list, search and select “Apple iCloud”.
- Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.
For the notification, press “Allow”, then “OK”.
To prevent excessive battery drainage, a dynamic interval is used for each individual device instead of a fixed interval for all devices linked to one account. The dynamic interval is based on the current zone of a device, the distance towards home and the battery level of the device.
Two Factor Authentication
If two-step authentication is enabled for your iCloud account, some time after Home Assistant startup the integration will ask to enter the verification code you receive on your device via a notification in the Home Assistant UI. The duration of this authentication is determined by Apple, so you will need to verify your account every now and then.
In case of troubleshooting
Go into your Home Assistant configuration .storage folder and delete the “icloud” folder, then retry.
Platforms
Device Tracker
The iCloud integration will track available devices on your iCloud account.
Sensor
The iCloud integration will add a battery sensor for each iCloud devices available on your iCloud account.
Services
4 services are available:
Service icloud.update
This service can be used to ask an update of a certain iDevice or all devices linked to an iCloud account. Request will result in new Home Assistant state_changed event describing current iPhone location. It can be used in automations when a manual location update is needed, e.g., to check if anyone is home when a door has been opened.
Service icloud.play_sound
This service will play the Lost iPhone sound on your iDevice. It will still ring if you are on “Mute” or “Do not disturb” mode.
| Service data attribute | Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|
| account | no | E-mail address of the iCloud account |
| device_name | no | Human Friendly device name like Bob’s iPhone |
Service icloud.display_message
This service will display a message on your iDevice. It can also ring your device.
Service icloud.lost_device
This service will put your iDevice on “lost” mode (compatible devices only). You have to provide a phone number with a suffixed country code and a message.

Welcome to iCloud3 v2.4!
iCloud3 is a device_tracker custom_component for iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. It is tightly integrated with the Home Assistant IOS App, uses the Waze Route Tracker for distance and time information, creates a Stationary Zone when you are stationary, lets you monitor distance and time information for the home zone and other zones (work, school, etc.), minimizes battery usage, and much more.
iCloud3 is a Home Assistant device tracker custom component that greatly expands the capabilities of the iCloud HA component. It exposes many new attributes, provides many new features, is based on enhanced route tracking methods, is much more accurate, and includes additional service calls
- Supports the Apple iCloud 2-factor-authentication Verification you are familiar with.
- Supports iCloud Location Services and the HA iOS App tracking methods. The most efficient method is automatically assigned to the devices you are tracking on a per device basis.
- Family Sharing locates and tracks your family members that are in your iCloud Account’s Family Sharing List.
- Find-my-Friends locates and tracks the people who are sharing their location in the FindMy App.
- Home Assistant iOS App is responsible for zone enter and exit notifications and location update triggers. It is also used if the others are not available, you do not want to use your iCloud account or there are problems with authentication or verifying trusted device access to your account.
- A variable polling interval that is based on the Waze Route Mapping Service (drive time and distance) rather than just a calculated straight line distance.
- Monitors the IOS App device_tracker and sensors to immediately capture zone enter, exit and location change notifications.
- Sensor templates are created that can be used in automations, in scripts and on Lovelace cards. The sensors that are created can be customized to suit your needs.
- Calculate distance and travel time for more than one zone.
- The iCloud3 Event Log Lovelace card lets you review tracking history, update transactions that have been discarded because of old locations or poor GPS, operational errors and the ability to restart iCloud3 without restarting Home Assistant.
- GPS wandering that randomly changes the device’s state from home to not_home is eliminated.
- Short 15-second polling interval when you are less than 1 mi/km from home lets you reliably trigger automations based on an accurate distance.
- A Stationary Zone is created when you are in the same location for while (doctors office, mall, school, restaurant, etc.) to reduce device polling and conserve battery life.
- Old location data and GPS inaccuracy locations are automatically discarded.
- Additional service call commands (setting intervals, pausing and resuming polling, zone assignment, etc.)
- No other tracking program (other than the HA iOS app) are needed to handle device tracking and presence detection. You will not need Nmap, OwnTracks, router based tracking components.
- New Configuration variables and Attributes let you customize how you want to use iCloud3.
- The iCloud3 configuration file (config_ic3.yaml) can be used for most of the configuration parameters. Change the iCloud3 parameters, restart iCloud3 on the iCloud3 Event Log card and they take effect immediately. Without restarting Home Assistant.
- Extensive documentation on how to use iCloud3, how to set it up and how to customize it to meet your needs. It includes many sample automations and scripts that you can use to set your own device tracking and presence detection.

iCloud3 Device Tracker Custom Component
‘iCloud3’ is an improved version of the iCloud device_tracker component installed with Home Assistant. It’s purpose is:
- To provide easy-to-use presence detection that does not rely on any other program, other than Home Assistant and the Home Assistant IOS app.
- To be report accurate information (location, distance from home, current zone) on a timely basis that can be used reliably in automations.
- To conserve the devices battery.
Below are some sample Lovelace screenshots showing how iCloud3 information can be displayed (see ui-lovelace-icloud3.yaml in the configuration files directory). Example configuration files for sensors, switches, badges, automations and scripts are also found in the configuration files directory that report location information and device status, along with running automations (opening a garage door) when arriving home. Other uses (security, lighting, heating & cooling control, etc.) can be added to the automations to meet your needs.
Special Note: I want to thank Walt Howd, (iCloud2 fame) who inspired me to tackle this project. Gary Cobb aka GeeksterGary.
iCloud3 has many features not in the base iCloud device_tracker that is part of Home Assistant. It exposes many new attributes, provides many new features, is based on enhanced route tracking methods, is much more accurate, and includes additional service calls. Lets look at the differences.
| Feature | Original iCloud | iCloud3 |
|---|---|---|
| Device Selection | None | Include and/or exclude device by type (iPhone, iPad, etc) or by device name (garyiphone, lillianiphone, etc) |
| Minimum Poll Interval | 1 minute | 15 second |
| Distance Accuracy | 1 km/mile | .01 km/mile |
| Hide location (gps coordinates) if not in a zone | No | Yes |
| Variable Polling | Yes — Based on distance from home, battery level, GPS Accuracy | Yes — Based on distance from home, Waze travel time to home, direction of travel, if the device is in a zone, battery level, GPS Accuracy, ‘old location’ status |
| Detects zone changes | No — Also requires other device_trackers (OwnTracks, Nmap, ping, etc. | Yes — No other programs are needed |
| Detects when leaving Home Zone | Delayed to next polling cycle (default of 30-minutes) | Detects when the Home Assistant IOS app issues a Zone Enter/Exit notification |
| Retries polling if location data is old or GPS Accuracy is above limits | No | Yes. Repolls device on next 15-second polling cycle until good location data is received |
| Fixes ‘Not Home’ issue when in Sleep Mode | No | Yes, on next 15-second cycle |
| Integrates with Waze route/map tracker | No | Yes — Uses Waze travel time to home |
| Device Polling Interval when close to home | 1+ minutes (?) | 15-seconds |
| Dynamic Stationary Zone | No | Yes, A Stationary Zone is created if no movement has been detected in 2 polling cycles. Polling interval is set to 2-hours (default) until zone exit notification is recieved |
| Service call commands | Set polling interval, Reset devices | Set polling interval, Reset devices, Pause/restart polling, Change zone, Enable/disable Waze Route information usage (some commands can be for all devices or for a specific device) |
| Device Filters | None | By device type or device name |
| Geekster Statistics: | ||
| ● Config variables | 4 | 20 |
| ● Attributes | 20 | 33 |
| ● Service Calls | 4 | 4 + 10 special commands |
| ● Lines of code | 425 | 2700+ |
iCloud3 polls the device on a dynamic schedule and determines the polling interval time based on:
- If the device in a zone or not in a zone. The zones include the ones you have set up in zone.yaml and a special Dynamic Stationary Zone that is created by iCloud3 when you haven’t changed your location in a while (shopping center, friends house, doctors office, etc.)
- A ‘line-of-sight’ calculated distance from ‘home’ to your current location using the GPS coordinates.
- The driving time and distance between ‘home’ and your current location using the Waze map/driving/direction service.
- The direction you are going — towards home, away from home or stationary.
- The battery level of the device.
- The accuracy of the GPS location and if the last poll returned a location that the iCloud service determined was ‘old’.
The above analysis results in a polling interval. The further away from home and the longer the travel time back to home, the longer the interval; the closer to home, the shorter the interval. The polling interval checks each device being tracked every 15 seconds to see if it’s location should be updated. If so, it and all of the other devices being tracked with iCloud3 are updated (more about this below). With a 15 second interval, you track the distance down 1/10 of a mile/kilometer. This gives a much more accurate distance number that can used to trigger automations. You no longer limited to entering or exiting a zone.
Note: The pyicloud.py Python component is part of Home Assistant and used to poll the device, requesting location and other information. If the iCloud account is associated with multiple devices, all of the devices are polled, whether or not the device is being tracked by Home Assistant. This is a limitation of pyicloud.py.
What other programs do I need
The Home Assistant IOS App is all. You do not need OwnTracks or other location based trackers and you do not need nmap , netgear , ping or any network monitor. The Home Assistant IOS App will notify Home Assistant when you leave home and iCloud3 device tracker will start keeping up with the device’s location, the distance to home and the time it will take to get there.
Note: The IOS App settings Zone enter/exit , Background fetch and Significant location change location settings need to be enabled.
The iCloud platform allows you to detect presence using the iCloud service. iCloud allows users to track their location on iOS devices. Your device needs to be registered with “Find My iPhone”.
What happens if I don’t have the IOS app on my device
The Home Assistant IOS App issues zone enter/exits and pushes location updates to HA; the iCloud Find-my-Friends issues location updates and other device information when asked by iCloud3. They both must map to the same device (see about assigning device_names a little later). If they do not, or if the IOS app is not installed on the device, the zone enter/exits will not be picked up when they actually happen.
They will be updated, however, on the next poll by iCloud3. The problem with not having the IOS app installed is if you are in a zone and on a 2-hour polling interval, it could be 2-hours before the device goes to a not_home state. With the IOS app, it picks up the zone exit, pushes it to HA, gets picked up by iCloud3 and changes the state within a minute or two of exiting the zone.
Home Assistant Configuration
To integrate iCloud3 in Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:
If you have several devices that are associated with different Apple iCloud accounts, add a second iCloud3 platform with the other iCloud account. Since there may be a chance that a device is associated with several accounts, you should add include_device or exclude_device statements to the other account configuration.
Note: It is recommended that you have only one account with the include_device_type statement.
iCloud3 is a Home Assistant custom component. Create a config/custom_component/device_tracker directory on the device (Raspberry Pi) running Home Assistant. Copy the `icloud3.py ‘ file into that directory.
About Your Apple iCloud Account
Apple has enabled ‘2 Step Authentication’ for iCloud accounts. To permit Home Assistant, and iCloud3, to access your iCloud account, you need to have an authentication code sent via a text message to a trusted device, which is then entered in Home Assistant. The duration of this authentication is determined by Apple, but is now at 2 months.
When your account needs to be authorized, or reauthorized, you will be notified and the Notification symbol (the bell in the upper right of the Home Assistant screen) will be highlighted. Take the following steps to complete the process:
Press the Notification Bell in the upper right-hand corner of your Home Assistant screen.
A window is displayed, listing the trusted devices associated with your account. It will list an number (0, 1, 2, etc.) next to the phone number that can receive the text message containing the 2 Step Authentication code number used to authenticate the computer running Home Assistant (your Raspberry Pi for example).
Type the number.
A text message is sent. Type the authentication code you receive in the next window that is displayed.
Note: The Python program used to access your iCloud account, pyicloud , does not support 2 Factor Authentication, the improved version of 2 Steps Authentication.
Associating the iPhone Device Name with Home Assistant using the Home Assistant IOS App
The Device Name field of the device in Settings App>General>About>Name field on the iPhone and iPad and in the Apple Watch App for the iWatch is stored in the iCloud account and used by Home Assistant to identify the device. HA v0.86+ converts any special characters found in the Device Name field to an underscore ( _ ) while HA v0.85 and earlier dropped the special characters altogether; e.g., ‘Gary-iPhone’ becomes ‘gary_iphone’ in known_devices.yaml, automations, sensors, scripts, etc. The value, ‘gary_iphone’, in the Device ID field in the Home Assistant IOS App>Settings ties everything together.
Note: When you use iCloud account is accessed on a new device, you may receive an email from Apple stating that someone has logged into your account.
username
(Required) The username (email address) for the iCloud account.
password
(Required) The password for the account.
account_name
The friendly name for the account_name.
Note: If this isn’t specified, the account_name part of the username (the part before the @ in the email address) will be used.
include_device_types (or include_device_type)
exclude_device_types (or exclude_device_type)
Include or exclude device type(s) that should* be tracked.
Default: Include all device types associated with the account
include_devices (or include_device)
exclude_devices (or exclude_device)
Include or exclude devices that should be tracked.
Default: Include all devices associated with the account
Note: It is recommended that to you specify the devices or the device types you want to track to avoid confusion or errors. All of the devices you are tracking are shown in the devices_tracked attribute.
inzone_interval
The interval between location upates when the device is in a zone. This can be in seconds, minutes or hours, e.g., 30 secs, 1 hr, 45 min, or 30 (minutes are assumed if no time qualifier is specified).
Default: 2 hrs
gps_accuracy_threshold
iCloud location updates come with some gps_accuracy varying from 10 to 5000 meters. This setting defines the accuracy threshold in meters for a location updates. This allows more precise location monitoring and fewer false positive zone changes. If the gps_accuracy is above this threshold, a location update will be retried again in 2 minutes to see if the accuracy has improved. After 5 retries, the normal interval that is based on the distance from home, the waze travel time and the direction will be used.
Default: 100
Note: The accuracy and retry count are displayed in the info attribute field (GPS.Accuracy-263(2)) and on the poll_count attribute field (2-GPS). In this example, the accuracy has been poor for 2 polling cycles.
hide_gps_coordinates Hide the latitude and longitude of the device if not in a zone. Note: This option provided enhanced security by only reporting the devices location when it is in a zone. Valid values: True, False. Default: False
ignore_gps_accuracy_inzone If the GPS accuracy reported by the iCloud Find-my-Friends service is greater than the gps_accuracy_threshold (bigger number means poorer accuracy), the device is repolled every minute to try to get an accurate location. This controls whether the device is repolled when in a zone (with a 2-hour polling interval)
Valid values: True, False. Default: True
unit_of_measurement
The unit of measure for distances in miles or kilometers.
Valid values: mi, km. Default: mi
distance_method
iCloud3 uses two methods of determining the distance between home and your current location — by calculating the straight line distance using geometry formulas (like the Proximity sensor) and by using the Waze Route Tracker to determine the distance based on the driving route.
Valid values: waze, calc. Default: waze
waze_min_distance, waze_max_distance
These values are also used to determine if the polling internal should be based on the Waze distance. If the calculated straght-line distance is between these values, the Waze distance will be requested from the Waze mapping service. Otherwise, the calculated distane is used to determine the polling interval. Default: min=1, max=1000
Note: The Waze distance becomes less accurate when you are close to home. The calculation method is better when the distances less than 1 mile or 1 kilometer.
Note: If you are a long way from home, it probably doesn’t make sense to use the Waze distance. You probably don’t have any automations that would be triggered from that far away.
waze_realtime
Waze reports the travel time estimate two ways — by taking the current, real time traffic conditions into consideration (True) or as an average travel time for the time of day (False).
Valid values: True, False. Default: False
waze_region
The area used by Waze to determine the distance and travel time.
Valid values: US (United States), NA (North America), EU (Europe), IL (Isreal). Default: US
travel_time_factor
When using Waze and the distance from your current location to home is more than 3 kilometers/miles, the polling interval is calculated by multiplying the driving time to home by the travel_time_factor .
Default: .60
Note: Using the default value, the next update will be 3/4 of the time it takes to drive home from your current location. The one after that will be 3/4 of the time from that point. The result is a smaller interval as you get closer to home and a larger one as you get further away.
There are two zones that are special to the iCloud3 device tracker — the Dynamic Stationary Zone and the NearZone zone.
Dynamic Stationary Zone
When a device has not moved for 60m/200ft in 2 polling cycles, it is considered to be stationary. Examples might be when you are at a mall, doctor’s office, restaurant, friend’s house, etc. If the device is stationary, it’s Stationary Zone location (latitude and longitude) is automatically updated with the current values, the device state is changed and the interval time is set to the inzone_interval value (default is 2 hrs). This almost eliminates the number of times the device must be polled to see how far it is from home when you haven’t moved for a while. When you leave the Stationary Zone, the IOS App notifies Home Assistant that the Stationary Zone has been exited and the device tracking begins again.
Note: You do not have to create the Stationary Zone in the zones.yaml file, the iCloud3 device tracker automatically creates one for every device being tracked when Home Assistant is started. The initial location is latitude 0°, longitude 180° (where the international date line crosses the equator). It’s name is devicename_Stationary.
NearZone Zone
There may be times when the Home Zone’s (or another zone’s) cell service is poor and does not track the device adequately when the device nears a zone. This can create problems triggering automations when the device enters the zone since the Find-My-Friends location service has problems monitoring it’s location.
To solve this, a special ‘NearZone’ zone can be created that is a short distance from the real zone that will wake the device up. The IOS App stores the zone’s location on the device and will trigger a zone enter/exit notification which will then change the device’s device_tracker state to the NearZone zone and change the polling interval to every 15-secs. It is not perfect and might not work every time but it is better than utomations never being triggered when they should.
Note: You can have more than one NearZone zone in the zones.yaml file. Set them up with a unique name that starts with NearZone;, e.g., NearZone-Home, NearZone-Quail, NearZone-Work, etc. The friendly_name attribute should be NearZone for each one.
There are numerous attributes that are available for use in automations or to monitor the location of your device. They are shown in following table.
battery
The battery level of the device..
authenticated
When the device’s iCloud account was last authenticated.
interval
The current interval between update requests to your iCloud account for the location and other information. They increase as you get further away and decrease as you get closer to home.
travel_time
The Waze travel time to return home from your current location.
distance
The distance from home being used by the interval calculator. This will be either the Waze distance or the calculated distance.
waze_distance
The driving distance from home returned by Waze based on the shortest route.
calculated_distance
The ‘straight line’ distance that is calculated using the latitude and longitude of home and your current location using geometric formulas.
dir_of_travel
The direction you are traveling — towards home, away from home, near home, or stationary. This is determined by calculating the difference between the distance from home on this location update and the last one. Stationary can be a little difficult to determine at times and sometimes needs several updates to get right.
last_located
The last time your iCloud account successfully located the device. Normally, this will be a few seconds after the update time, however, if you are in a dead zone or the GPS accuracy exceeds the threshold, the time will be older. In this case, a description of the issues is displayed in the info attribute field.
last_update
The time of the last iCloud location update.
next_update
The time of the next iCloud location update.
poll_count
The number of iCloud location updates done that day.
info
A message area displaying information about the device. This includes the battery level, Waze status, GPS accuracy issues, how long the device has been stationary, etc.
tracked_devices
The devices that are being tracked based on the ‘includes’ and ‘excludes’ specified in the configuration.yaml file. This will be the same for all devices tracked.
device_status
The status of the device — online if the device is located or offline if polling has been paused or it can not be located.
battery_status
Charging or NotCharging.
latitude, longitude, altitude
The location of the device.
source_type
How the the Home Assistant IOS App located the device. This includes gps, beacon, router.
Accessing Attributes in Automations and in Lovelace
Automations can access the attribute’s value using the states.attributes.attributename statement. The third trigger in the example below will trigger the gary_arrives_home automation when the distance goes below .25.
An entity’s state can be displayed on a Lovelace card but the attribute’s value cannot. To display the attribute’s value, a sensor template can be used that will be updated when the attribute’s value changes. The following example will display the distance attribute.
And on a Lovelace card:
Note: It is better to access the attribute’s value in automation rather than using a template sensor. The reason is that when the attribute changes value, it will trigger the automation immediately. If the template sensor is used, the automation becomes a two step process; the sensor must be changed before the automation will be triggered.
DEVICE TRACKER SERVICES
Four services are available for the iCloud3 device tracker component that are used in automations.
| Service | Description |
|---|---|
| icloud_update | Send commands to iCloud3 that change the way it is running (pause, resume, Waze commands, etc.) |
| icloud_set_interval | Override the dynamic interval calculated by iCloud3. |
| icloud_lost_phone | Play the Lost Phone sound. |
| icloud_reset | Reset the iCloud3 custom component. |
Description of each service follows.
This service allows you to change the way iCloud3 operates. The following parameters are used:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| account_name | account_name of the iCloud3 custom component specified in the Configuration Variables section described at the beginning of this document. (Required) |
| device_name | Name of the device to be updated. All devices will be updated if this parameter is not specified. (Optional) |
| command | The action to be performed (see below). (Required) |
| parameter | Additional parameters for the command. |
The following describe the commands that are available.
| Command | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pause | Stop updating/locating a device (or all devices). Note: You may want to pause location updates for a device if you are a long way from home or out of the country and it doesn’t make sense to continue locating your device. | |
| resume | Start updating/locating a device (or all devices) after it has been paused. | |
| resume | Reset the update interval if it was overridden the ‘icloud_set_interval’ service. | |
| pause-resume | Toggle pause and resume commands | |
| zone | zonename | Change iCloud3 state to ‘zonename’ (like the device_tracker.see service call) and immediately update the device interval and location data. Note: Using the device_tracker.see service call instead will update the device state but the new interval and location data will be delayed until the next 15-second polling iteration (rather than immediately). |
| waze | on | Turn on Waze. Use the ‘waze’ method to determine the update interval. |
| waze | off | Turn off Waze. Use the ‘calc’ method to determine the update interval. |
| waze | toggle | Toggle waze on or off |
| waze | reset_range | Reset the Waze range to the default distances (min=1, max=99999). |
| info | interval | Show how the interval is determined by iCloud3. This is displayed real time in the info attribute field. |
| info | logging | Toggle writing detailed debug information records to the HA log file. |
This service allows you to override the interval between location updates to a fixed time. It is reset when a zone is entered or when the icloud_update service call is processed with the ‘resume’command. The following parameters are used:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| account_name | account_name of the iCloud3 custom component specified in the Configuration Variables section described at the beginning of this document. (Required) |
| device_name | Name of the device to be updated. All devices will be updated if this parameter is not specified. (Optional) |
| interval | The interval between location updates. This can be in seconds, minutes or hours. Examples are 30 sec, 45 min, 1 hr, hrs, 30 (minutes are assumed if no time descriptor is specified). (Required) |
This service will play the Lost iPhone sound on a specific device.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| account_name | account_name of the iCloud3 custom component specified in the Configuration Variables section described at the beginning of this document. (Required) |
| device_name | Name of the device (Required) |
This service will refresh all of the devices being handled by iCloud3 and can be used when you have added a new device to your Apple account. You will have to restart Home Assist if you have made changes to the platform parameters (new device type, new device name, etc.)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| account_name | account_name of the iCloud3 custom component specified in the Configuration Variables section described at the beginning of this document. (Required) |
TECHNICAL INFORMATION — HOW THE INTERVAL IS DETERMINED
The iCloud3 device tracked uses data from several sources to determine the time interval between the iCloud Find my Friends location update requests. The purpose is to provide accurate location data without exceeding Apple’s limit on the number of requests in a time period and to limit the drain on the device’s battery.
The algorithm uses a sequence of tests to determine the interval. If the test is true, it’s interval value is used and no further tests are done. The following is for the nerd who wants to know how this is done.
| Test | Interval | Method Name |
|---|---|---|
| Zone Changed | 15 seconds | 1-ZoneChanged |
| Poor GPS (unless in a zone) | 60 seconds | 2-PoorGPS |
| Interval Override | specified value | 3-Override |
| Old Location Data | 15 seconds | 4-OldLocationData |
| In a Zone | 1-hr or inzone_interval parameter | 5-InZone |
| Distance travel_time_factor parmeter | 8-WazeTime | |
| Distance 150km/90mi | distance/1.5 | 15-Calculated |
Notes: The interval is then multiplied by a value based on other conditions. The conditions are:
- If Stationary, keep track of the number of polls when you are stationary (the stationary count reported in the info attribute). Multiply the interval time by 2 when the stationary count is an even number and by 3 when it is divisible by 3.
- If the direction of travel is Away, multiply the interval time by 2.
- Is the battery is low, the GPS accuracy is poor or the location data is old, don’t make any of the above adjustments to the interval.
