|
The `icloud` platform allows you to detect presence using the [iCloud](https://www.icloud.com/) service. iCloud allows users to track their location on iOS devices.
|
|
|
|
It does require that your device is registered with "Find My iPhone".
|
|
|
|
To integrate iCloud in Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
platform: icloud
|
|
username: USERNAME
|
|
password: PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **username** (*Required*): The username for the iCloud account.
|
|
- **password** (*Required*): The password for your given username.
