Description
The problem
I am using an integration which should create a device tracker - but this didn't work. I investigated and I am able to reproduce the issue via developer tools - when I execute the service:
service: device_tracker.see
data:
dev_id: automower_none_170805572_164914249
location_name: home
gps:
- 51.509802
- -0.086692
the device_tracker is NOT created (checked also in the developer tools), but the logs show no errors (see logs below). Even when I filter the table states for the entity_id = "device_tracker.au" I get no result.
I found someone in the forum who tested the same call for me on his installation - the device tracker was created without any issue.
