Find My iPhone implementation in LUA script

[ben53252642]

Ahh I had the same issue with mine:

"Ben's iPhone"

in my case changing the single quotes to " allowed it to accept the single ' in my name.

[Calzor Suzay]

I don't think it's that there's " " around either side

I think It's the fact I physically can't get a ’ into my Raspberry Pi.
I've just tried changing locale's UTF8, en_GB.ISO-8859-15 to no effect.

I could recall the iPhones and change there name but it's bugging me now

[ben53252642]

SSH into the Pi and use nano?

[ben53252642]

Actually you know you can just use the script editor in Domoticz right?

Mine is setup like this:

You don't actually have to put the script in the lua scripts folder of Domoticz, it can run from the web interface scripts UI just fine.

[Calzor Suzay]

I was using nano via SSH and no I didn't know you could edit LUA scripts on the webpage gui.
/long breath, AHHHHHHHhhhhhh! , and smile
It seems to be working now as expected, thanks for your help.

I've deleted the old .lua script from the folder and rebooted but it does still seem to be running it as I'm seeing all the print commands I added still appear... How do I remove it?

[Calzor Suzay]

Think I've sorted extra script now as well

[Calzor Suzay]

And battery details logging as well, awesome

[blindlight]

This version also gets the iPhone battery level, which is really cool cause Domoticz can chart how long my iPhone lasts on battery power.

Just add a percentage sensor device called: iPhone Battery USER (in my case USER is Ben)

getlocation works, but my battery level is still 0.0.
maybe some region problem. i'm in Shanghai.

Hi guys, I am using Ben's implementation of the LUA script and it is working great. Thanks for that it would not have worked for me without your guidance. What leads me to my question. In my log it prints the power status; not charging or charging. I would like to use this data for some automation. Can you please help me to either create a virtual switch (charging; on, not charging: off) or a way to use the printed information in events? Thanks in advance for your support, it will be much appreciated.

Now I got this error, don't know why. Anyone?

Code: Select all

Error: EventSystem: in Check_iphone: [string "-- Script to check the location of multiple i..."]:10: attempt to call a nil value

[rjblake]

I used this for a while and while it worked mostly, there were times where it didn't update battery, or returned battery as 0%. No idea why, perhaps it was picking up other devices (e.g. iMac) for some reason, or perhaps Apple didn't feel like responding everytime.

It would help to know what is line 10 in your script The error could e.g. relate to a variable that is not given any value ( = nil).

I've noticed that the battery level is quite often empty or 0%. I've chosen to ignore these in the script. As a presence detection method (that is based on the location of iPhone), this has been the most reliable so far. All geofence apps, pinging / arp scanning etc. have more or less failed or have been unreliable...

In the script, you need a new variable (similar to lon / lat / batterystatus )and then store the charging status to it, the json output tells you how you need to define it, comapre to e.g. batterystatus:

Code: Select all

powerstateval = value.batteryStatus

(hint: look vor value and batteryStatus in the json output)

Then just create a virtual on / off switch and check it's current status and update it whether it is different than it is supposed to be

It was the JSON script placement thats was wrong. But now I have a other issue

Line 38 is the "for key" part

    for key,value in pairs(output.content) do
      if value.name == credentials.devicename then

I would add some print statements to see if you are getting the expected responses from the curl fetches. Check previous page in this thread and what ben... suggests Now it seems you are not getting the expected response. You can also try the curl from command line to make sure it works. One reason could be exotic iPhone name or password that contain some lua magic characters.

[cattoo]

Well I added this print (result) above handle:close() but under getlocation
and got my user info, token, current timezone and stuff like that. So it seems that I get logged in.
But when when ill add print (getlocation)
I get

Code: Select all

 LUA: curl -s -X POST -L -u 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' -H 'X-Apple-Find-Api-Ver: 2.0' -H 'X-Apple-Authscheme: UserIdGuest' -H 'X-Apple-Realm-Support: 1.0' -H 'User-agent: Find iPhone/1.3 MeKit (iPad: iPhone OS/4.2.1)' -H 'X-Client-Name: iPad' -H 'X-Client-UUID: DELETED' -H 'Accept-Language: en-us' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' 'https://fmipmobile.icloud.com/fmipservice/device/USERNAME/initClient'

why is it like this?

That is just printing just the curl command. It is used in the next line (io.popen). Then the interesting stuff after this is json decoding which I guess is not working as expected. The result of "output = json:decode(result)" is something faulty. How did you define the json file location, are you sure you have it there? Is it spelled correctly in your script?

[cattoo]

The file is located here
json = (loadfile "/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lua/JSON.lua")(
And I've checked and the JSON file is there.

Indeed - I do really like the functionality being able to log location and for the rest worked well. Wish my code was half as useful or tidy. Battery drain seemed a bit high if polled too often. I am experimenting with an app 'Locative' that I have found works really well too and only needs config on the phone. Also trying to work out how to exploit my Tado app and perhaps just use that, as it does its job just fine for the Thermostat
