Life360 Automation

Configuration
1

I have an automation that simulates a garage door opener that I want to trigger when a Life360 member comes home.
This does not throw an error but, it does not fire

- id: '1601926399383'
  alias: Sue's Home
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: device_tracker.life360_sue_xxxx
    from: away
    to: home
  condition: []
  action:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: automation.garage_door_remote
    state: ''
  mode: single

Here is the code I use for exactly the same automation and it work fine:

  - id: 'mirek_returns_home'
    alias: 'Mirek returns home'
    initial_state: true
    trigger:
      platform: zone
      entity_id: device_tracker.life360_miroslaw_malinowski
      zone: zone.home
      event: enter
    condition:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.mirek_car_presence
        state: 'Garage is empty'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.garage_mirek
        state: 'closed'
    action:
      - service: script.toggle_mirek_garage_door

Please note additional 2 conditions I use to be sure that garage is not opened unnecessarily; I’ checking if my car is in garage (i might approach home in wife’s car, biking or just walking) and if garage door is closed (i have single button trigger to open/close/stop garage doors).
But basically I’m using different trigger than you, based on event, not state change.

The “from:” is never “away”… it is “home” or “not_home” or just remove the from altogether and just have to: “home”

Use the dev tools> states page to see what the states really are.
