http://dl.dropbox.com/u/241415/Find%20M ... elease.zipWhat is Find my iDevices
Find My iDevices, is a Indigo plugin that will use information from Find My iPhone (via Mobile Me, and/or iCloud)
to locate your iDevice (iPhone, iPod Touch via Wifi, iPad, etc). If the device is registered with MobileMe, then it
will be available for Find My iDevice.
You can also designate "Zones", that will be highlighted on a Google Map. So for example, you can indicate
where your Home, Work, etc, is on the map.
Find My iDevice requires an active Internet connection for the Google Map Data, and MobileMe location data.
Installation
1) Open the "Add to Plugin Directory" folder, and take the Find-my-idevice.indigoPlugin and place it into
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 5/Plugins
2) Open the "Add to IWS Plugin Directory" folder, and copy the "find-my-idevice" folder, and place it into:
/Plugins/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 5/IndigoWebServer/Plugins
4) Restart the Indigo 5 Server
5) After the Indigo server restarts, it will immediately open a dialog window,
asking you to the set the default settings for the find-my-iDevice plugin.
a) Please ensure that you add the MobileMe account information for the iDevices you wish to monitor.
b) Place the Longitude & Latitude that you want the map to center on.
You can use this web page to generate the Longitude & Latitude from your address.
http://stevemorse.org/jcal/latlon.phpIf you are upgrading from previous version of Find My iDevices, please go into any "Find My iDevices" device
records, and check your settings. Please make sure to save the device, since there are new fields in v0.95,
and if you do not save the device, those fields will not contain valid data.
Basic Usage:
1) Open a web browser window, and go to your Indigo Web Server.
You will see a entry at the bottom:
Find My iDevices Displays the MobileMe Location Data for your iDevices
If you click on that link, the find-my-idevice web page will open, and
display the locations of all known iDevices. Of course, location services need to be active, and
the device needs to be on the internet…
Advanced Configuration:
1) You can capture the state of the MobileMe devices, by creating a Indigo device to store the MobileMe information.
⁃ Click on the Devices list
⁃ Click on New...
⁃ Add a descriptive test in the Name field (eg. Elise's iPhone)
⁃ Optional - Add a description to the device
⁃ Change the Type to Plugin
⁃ Change the Plugin to Find My iDevices
⁃ Change the Model to Find My iDevices
⁃ In the Configure Find My iDevice dialog, choose the iDevice from the Popup list
When Find My iDevice polls MobileMe, this device's states will be updated with the following information:
⁃ GPS Accuracy
⁃ Battery Status ( 1.00 is fully charged? 0.0 is fully discharged?)
⁃ Device Class (eg. iPad, iPod Touch, etc)
⁃ Device Model (eg. FirstGen, SecondGen, etc)
⁃ Device status
⁃ DistanceAway from Home Latitude & Longitude
⁃ Last Updated time/date (from MobileMe).
⁃ Current Latitude
⁃ Current Longitude
⁃ MobileMe Account used to gather the data
Now, when the Timed MobileMe refresh occurs, those devices will be updated at the same time. This allows
other plugins, or programs to get the data from the device states.
2) You can setup a different MobileMe accounts for specific device. To turn on a different set of
MobileMe credentials for a device, follow these steps.
⁃ Make a new device. Choose Plugin, and choose "Find My iDevices!".
⁃ Edit the Device Settings
⁃ Choose "Use an alternative MobileMe Login for this iDevice".
⁃ Enter in the Username & Password.
⁃ Save the Configuration
⁃ Edit the Device Settings
⁃ Choose the iDevice for the alternative MobileMe account.
3) To step up a "Fence" (Rectangle Zone on the Google Map):
⁃ Make a new device. Choose Plugin, and choose "Rectangle Fence Zone".
⁃ Edit the Device Settings
⁃ fill in the Latt / Long for the 4 pairs of coordinates
⁃ Save the configuration

Donations:
To help fund the continued development of this plugin... Please consider donating.
At this time my software is free, including the Indigo Web Plugin’s and attachment scripts…
But the cost to make the plugins and other software is not cheap. Not to mention the additional cost of
keeping current in the Home Automation field, and research, etc…
Some of the users of my software has asked about making Donations… So, here’s the plan:
If you want your donation to be payment for a software package, please write it down in the donation’s
comments. Otherwise the donation will go towards paying for Web Hosting. Anyone that indicates that
they wish to be credited for a donation, will be listed as a donor, either on the website and/or
software plugin (if the user was donating to a specific plugin).
