Help requested Life360 device conflict

I’m new to home assistant. I’ve done a fresh install added all my devices, mobile app, etc. When I install life360 I get a uniqueID error will all the phones. I’ve deleted the home assistant mobile app, deleted the mobile app integration, deleted life360 integration, deleted all known devices, restarted the HA server, reloaded the life 360 integration and I still have the uniqueID error. I’m unable to edit or rename anything flagged with the error. How can I either totally remove my mobile device from HA or how can I change the name of the devices created through life360? I’ve searched for 4 days trying to figure this out and just cannot do it. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction.

I can try to help (I wrote the life360 integration), but I’m unfamiliar with that error. Can you provide more details, such as the exact error message(s) as a start? Also, what version of HA are you using?

Hi Phill. Thank you for your response and thank you for the work you put into this integration. The error I’m getting is, “This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI.” I’m using HA 0.110.2

Where exactly are you seeing that error, and when does it appear? Are you trying to change something or do something when it happens? Can you find it in home-assistant.log, and if so, could you copy the entire line from the log file?

I see this message under configuration, entities. It has an icon on the far right that says read only and if I click on the entity I get the message I shared before.

As I poked around more looking for the logs with the error, I couldn’t find them but I saw in the history one of my devices showed away, I did find that if I made a card with the life360 entity it does seem to work. Maybe this is working after all and I just misunderstood that error message.

This is a case of “if it hurts, don’t do that.” :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This is not unexpected.

FWIW, the life360 integration was done before the device tracker infrastructure was changed to the new entity-based scheme. It is therefore a “legacy” device tracker, and hence does not support being edited via Configuration → Entities. At some point it needs to be changed over to the newer scheme, but I don’t know if/when that will happen. I’ve made a couple of stabs at trying to do that but it was more difficult than I expected and gave up. Maybe someday…

Thank you for taking your precious time to help me out. I really appreciate the work you put into this integration.
