Hello! i have just started using home assistant.
I have set up the app and granted it all permissions it asked for, it has precise location (always)
i can see all the sensors i configure, but there is no location sensor and the device tracker reports unknown, since these are the steps i can see in the quickstart ... is there a way for me to check stuff? i am used to being able to troubleshoot by running smaller parts of integration (like, is there some endpoint i can monitor that the phone reports to? i can't see the sensor, but maybe its like ... implicitly sending the location if it has the permission? some more logs than the system logs which don't have anything for device, phone or app (except for a failed login from 2 days ago)

app version is reported as 2025.1.2-minimal , does that mean location is missing from that version?

Hello Maric 👋 from where did you install the app?

#

-minimal version means you didn't get it from the playstore. And from the companion documentation you can see that with a minimal app you don't have location and notification capabilities because it needs Google Play services.
