Google didn't send the location

[MrEmielH]

Make sure you are running the latest version of Home Assistant before reporting an issue.

You should only file an issue if you found a bug. Feature and enhancement requests should go in the Feature Requests section of our community forum:

Home Assistant release (hass --version):

0.42.4

Python release (python3 --version):

Python 3.5.3

Component/platform:

gplus.py

Description of problem:

Google refuses to send location, the following lines keep coming up in the log every time Home-Assistant tries to get my location.

17-04-19 14:15:04 ERROR (Thread-12) [custom_components.device_tracker.gplus] No response received to the location query
17-04-19 14:15:04 ERROR (Thread-12) [custom_components.device_tracker.gplus] Google didn't send the location. Updating data['at']

17-04-19 14:20:00 ERROR (Thread-12) [custom_components.device_tracker.gplus] No response received to the location query
17-04-19 14:20:00 ERROR (Thread-12) [custom_components.device_tracker.gplus] Google didn't send the location. Updating data['at']

Expected:

A new device_tracker pops up in the ui.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and steps to reproduce:

device_tracker 1:
  - platform: owntracks
    max_gps_accuracy: 200
    waypoints: True
    waypoint_whitelist:
      - emiel   
  - platform: gplus
    id: emiel_android
    url: https://plus.google.com/u/0/_/PlusAppUi/data?ds.extension=**3**3**&f.sid=-**0***4***4***1****&hl=nl&soc-app=***&soc-platform=1&soc-device=1&_reqid=*****5&rt=c
    cookie_sid: '*****************************_*****************************************'
    cookie_hsid: '*****************'
    cookie_ssid: '*****************'
    data_freq: 15
    home_url: https://plus.google.com/u/0/{id_Main}

1. Boot Home-Assistant
2. Look at the log

Additional info:

• Home-Assistant is running in a docker

• I Am using the "Safe Mode"

Does the location card appear when you visit your profile page after logging in with the dummy account?
If not, you need to properly share the location.
Also, I have only checked this component with Home Assistant versions v0.41.0 and earlier. Can you try that version? If not, some day soon, I should upgrade to the latest version of home assistant and see if something breaks.

I got it working, I was confused about the meaning of the data_freq parameter. I thought it was a duration on how much the tracker would update the location. My bad, thanks for the reply though
