I think This has been showing up in the CLI for awhile. I remember some discussions of it but not all the details.

Your phone presence sensors (one per Location) have a parent device which is the phone itself. This isn’t in a Location so doesn’t show up in default listings from the API. If you ask to include ‘User Devices’ it will be shown, and it can be accessed directly by ID. It is only visible to you as the owner.

Although I came across the devices years ago I only became aware of how to list them when I saw the Advanced Web App doing it.
