Specific device polling

If I do api.devices[0].location() will that only request the location for that device or will it end up telling all of my devices to send their location back to iCloud? I currently have a script polling an iPhone every 30 seconds for testing, but I noticed that my Apple Watch battery has drained significantly more than a normal day.

Yes, the way things work right now is that calling location() will result in a call to FindMyiPhoneServiceManager.refresh_client(), which passes selectedDevice: all in the request.

I don’t know what format selectedDevice takes, but you could look at the network request in Chrome and figure that out, and then e.g. add a deviced = all argument to refresh_client.

I have changed the selectedDevice param. However, iCloud still returns all devices information.

diff --git a/pyicloud/services/findmyiphone.py b/pyicloud/services/findmyiphone.py

-    def refresh_client(self):
+    def refresh_client(self, device_id='all'):

-                        'selectedDevice': 'all',
+                        # 'selectedDevice': 'all',
+                        'selectedDevice': device_id,

 
     def location(self):
-        self.manager.refresh_client()
+        self.manager.refresh_client(device_id=self.content['id'])
         return self.content['location']
