I know a week or two ago mine stopped working. I checked and it had “disabled” my account. I tried re-enabling it and after an hour or two it disabled again and quit working. At the time I was using an older version since I had seen others having issues with newer releases so I just left it alone (since it had been working fine for me).
I did a full upgrade of all my containers including Home Assistant and then pulled the latest Life360 release but I didn’t mess with it after that. Friday night I went in and re-enabled my account and it has been going ever since.
So not sure what happened a week or two ago but so far it is working fine again after re-enabling my account.
Indeed @TimothyGaray, I uninstalled the add on a few weeks back when it would constantly disable, but have been checking back here every few days in the hope of a new fix arriving.
Saw your post, reinstalled the addon and its all working again, in fact the circle retrieval was very fast.
Maybe it was a problem Life360 side, maybe it is to do with the fingerprinting @pnbruckner referred to in a previous post and with a lot of users removing the service its now back to acceptable parameters.
I’ve held off integrating the devices into automations for now but will monitor over the coming weeks for drops.
I can also confirm that going back to the 0.5.0b5 version has resolved the login error I had been experiencing. The integration is now back to working again.
I’m not sure if that tells us anything but at least it’s another data point.
The last time I tried the integration again on my production system, it still did not work – constant error 403’s.
I was still running HA 2024.5.5. Based on recent comments, and the fact that it worked on my test system, which was running newer versions of HA, I upgraded my production system to 2024.7.4 today and re-enabled the Life360 integration. To my pleasant surprise, it worked!
The only thing I can think of is that somehow the TLS fingerprint changed due to changes in the latest HA versions. If so, maybe this will work again for most or all of us for at least a while until Life360 and/or Cloudflare gets upset with us again. Who knows!
FWIW, I doubt the difference between 0.5.2 & 0.5.3bx matters. I happen to be running 0.5.3b2. I’ll try to release it as 0.5.3 before too long.
EDIT:
Oh, and I might change the update period from 10s back to 5s.
This would make sense why mine isn’t working still. I’m on 2024.6.4. 2024.7.0 breaks something for me so I haven’t upgraded yet. Maybe I’ll go ahead and try it this weekend. Do you know if the token i have saved will work or would I need a new one?
Is there a way to get the Life360 Zones into HA Zones? Or does it or will it happen automatically?
I just discovered I had a hard-coded zones.yaml file that was old and not being updated. I removed it from the configuration.yaml and restarted. Now HA only sees one zone: “Home”.
No. There used to be a way to get the Place details in the debug log, which was printed in a format that made it easy to copy & paste into a zones.yaml file, but that feature wasn’t added when I rewrote the integration from scratch recently.
It’s still not sure if it will keep working. We are testing it, but it has changed a couple of times now in the last few months. It has been working for some people again for 2 weeks now I think. But no guarantees.
Noticed one thing…
Did a logout and login and it seems like its only works with verification keys.
It didnt even ask for password, instead it send me a verification key to my email…
