I used to use Location Modes for automations (specifically STHM), have since stopped using them and deleted from all apps.
I am having trouble now deleting the Location Modes as part of my cleanup for the Groovy sunset.
I had three, I was able to delete two in the IDE. The third would not delete (returns an error when I try), presumably because I was set to that mode currently?
When I access in the app (iOS), all three are still there.
I can live with having at least one mode if it’s required, but I’m not sure why all three still show in the app.
I believe he removed the location modes in IDE. I don’t believe STHM security modes are in IDE.
I bet if he opens Manage Location in the app and clicks on the location mode field, he will only see one mode listed there. (totally different from the security modes as pointed out above)
This is correct. I was using the location modes for STHM (instead of virtual switches) at one point, and I named them to match the STHM modes.
As a test, I just went in to the location modes in the IDE and renamed the remaining “Home” mode to “Test”.
Now the app shows “Test” instead of “Home”.
I also added and deleted two more modes in the IDE just now and they still show up in the app.
So apparently you must be careful what modes you create in the IDE as they are now ever-lasting. And once the IDE goes away, it sounds like there will be no way to create or delete them again.
Done multiple times. Still showing. The mode name change takes place immediately without force closing.
I’ve contacted Support, and they’ve asked me to “send a screenshot of the error when connecting to the TV”. And they wanted to know “model and serial number of the device”. WTF, seriously? What TV? And what device? I remember when there was a time support actually had technical skills and could resolve something like this before the day was out.
most unusual. not sure if there is a sync issue with your account, something from the upcoming migration or the attempt to remove all the location modes. Only support will be able to assist at this point.
