Best echange for Life360?, something that eats a minimum battery, good accuracy, drive detection, and other settings.
I currently use the Life360 integration to manage my home alarm system in HA. Like alot of others, it stopped working this month. It has also been a little flakey over the last few months - reporting my phone as being away from home for 15-20 minute periods for no apparent reason.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good replacement solution, which can be installed on mine and my wife’s Android phones.
I’ve had a quick look at Owntracks, but have no idea how reliable it is.
???
Also the home assistant phone app.

Hi,
The home-assistant companion app for sure. You could choose to pay for Nabu Casa cloud subscription for simple to setup remote access or for free you can roll your own remote access solution.
If your main objective is to simply know when your phone(s) are at home or not, then a local wifi router device tracker integration might also be a good option.

Traccar in the addon set-up really easily. Not as easy as the HA app, but if you don’t have Nabu, a very close second.
