Life 360 not displaying all information on UI

Hi There,
I have just upgraded to 0.105.2 and something has changed relating to the data available for Life360.
After the update, I needed to create ‘persons’ and then assign an entity to the person to get it to display on the UI.
When I click on the person, I can see basic information relating to Lat/Lon/GPS Accuracy.
Prior to updating, I had access to extended information including if the person was driving, Battery Life, If they were moving, if they had Wi-fi on plus a few other items.
Is there anyway to get this extended information to display when I click on the person.
Thank you
Steve

This information should still be there when you click on the device_tracker not the person. The person doesn’t include this kind of information, only the location and the sourxe of the location. Multiple device trackers can be connected to one person and based on some logic it determines which device tracker should be used to show the location of the person. And when you click on the person, you will see which device tracker was chosen.

Do you have this in your configuration:

- platform: life360
    username: !secret life360_username
    password: !secret life360_password
    prefix: life360     
    add_zones: all
    show_as_state:
    - driving
    - moving
    - place

Thank you for the prompt response.

The device trackerS no longer appear independently in the interface. After the upgrade, I needed to create ‘persons’ and map the tracker.

In the release notes, it said
“ We no longer show device_tracker entities in generated mode. We advise you to bind one or more device trackers to a person that will be shown in the UI”

Should I be taking control of the user interface to get extra flexibility?

Thanks, Steve

Hi there

Such fast responses, thank you.
Should the config options be in Configuration.yaml?
I don’t have anything relating to Life 360 in my config file.

Thanks
Steve

Oh, I see, I didn’t know that I configure the frontend in YAML, gives me all the flexibility I need.

Just been playing around with the custom interface and I think it gives me what I need.
Thank you, Steve

It would seem you’re still using the very old, and no longer supported, custom integration. Is there a reason you haven’t switched to using the standard integration (which has been available for quite some time)?

Please do not suggest this sort of configuration because it is not valid with the standard integration. Please see the Life360 doc page.
