Noticed when we got home last night our outside lights were not on, but we have an automation to turn them on if we’re gone after dark. Meant to check why, but forgot.

Logged into the companion app this morning to manually toggle a switch and saw Life360 integration was not connected and “requires reconfiguration”

reentering my password and trying to log in is not working. I tried removing and re-adding the integration but the problem remains. Now I cannot re-add the integration as it will not sign in.

Anyone else experiencing this?

    We are using it for presence detection, but not just for those that live in the house. Our life 360 ‘circle’ allows my parents to arrive and automatically perform actions (disarm alarm) but they are not users of HA since there is no real need.

    We were already using L360 when I started using HA.

    Thanks for the link, I googled looking for issues because I know there was one earlier this year that required a fix. Might be time to figure out a better way, but it’s just another thing to mess with :)

      One of the wifi integrations would still work if your router/Access Point is supported. You just need the MAC address for whatever phone.

      The only “gotcha” for the wifi presence detection is you’ll have to change a setting on everyone’s phone to “use device MAC address”. Android and iOS both use randomized MAC addresses for wifi to prevent tracking, but tracking is what we want to do.
