The code looks like it first tries to get the device type from the iCloud device info and, if that is not a known device type (IPHONE, IPAD, WATCH, AIRPODS, MAC, IPOD, ICLOUD), tries to get it from the mobile app. And that is generating the error.

What is the type of device you are using?
Have you specified it on the Configure > iCloud3 Devices screen, then Select for the Update Device screen?
The device type is just an information field and not really used for tracking. Try setting it to iPhone and see if that works

[I](url) can’t edit it if it hasn’t been added? The tracker identity is see by the drop down, I can’t manually edit any of the fields? See attached config.

i see what you mean now, edit the already connected device?!. it was already set to iphone, i changed to other, tested - not working, then set it back to iphone - not working.

I am actually in Nairobi, Kenya on a safari but have looked at the code.

Edit the icloud3/config_flow.py file. The following code starts at line 3158.

From:

        # Get device_type from iCloud device info
        device_type = ''
        if user_input[CONF_FAMSHR_DEVICENAME] != 'None': 

To:

        # Get device_type from iCloud device info
        device_type = ''
        model = 'iphone'
        if user_input[CONF_FAMSHR_DEVICENAME] != 'None': 

You adding the model = ‘iphone’ after device_type = ‘’ at line 3160.

Make sure the model lines up with device_type.
Save the file and restart HA.
