Interesting. I can’t say I ever tested that scenario. I only have ten Places and I get all of them. Hmm, I’ll play around with that.
In the meantime, if you can get to a command window where you can run Python3, then you can try this script that I wrote that will get the names of all Members and all Places in all your Circles and print them out. You’d use it like this (which creates a temporary Python virtual environment to run in):
It doesn’t show the Place details, only the names, but if that shows all the Places, then I should be able to fix the debug output. If not, then it seems to be a limitation of the API.
Just run it and it only lists the ones that the debug logs show, not all of them.
Circle: Family
Members:
Mark

Places:
Tesco Extra Riverside
Castlepoint
Queensway Place Tesco
Home
Dog Walking
Saints FC
Chelsea's House
John Lewis at home
Tesco Extra Tower Park
Tesco Extra Salisbury
Tesco Extra Fleet
Very strange - do you think it could be my circle settings?
does this mean I can’t keep using the CC , even renamed to life360_custom, in /config/custom_components/life360_custom ? Thats what I hoped for, as per earlier discussion…
I just ran an experiment. I added three more Places. Then I used the script, Postman, and restarted my main HA instantiation and looked in the log. In all three cases all 13 Places where shown.
So I guess I can’t explain why you’re only seeing 11.
Do you have a subscription (i.e., premium account) for your Family Circle, or is it a freebie? If that latter, then maybe that could explain it.
Those comments were made to someone who was trying to get the standard life360 integration working. AFAIK, you can keep using the CC renamed as you have it.
Sorry to be dense, but how do I get entities to show up in the front end? I’ve added the integration, but I see absolutely nothing in the front end or entities list. The instructions make it appear that no other configuration is mandatory. I do see activity in the log:

I’ve restarted a few times, and I never used this when it was a custom component.
Do you see them in known_devices.yaml? They should be there. Is it possible they each have an entry that looks like this:
track: false
If so, then that’s your problem. You must have track_new_devices: false somewhere in your configuration. You will need to manually change those entries to true.
In any case, it would seem the problem is not with the life360 integration.
Nice work @pnbruckner - it was that I have track_new_devices: false (or my router starts tracking everything). Once I changed them in known_devices.yaml everything is as expected. Thanks!
I have rollback my changes with git and start again and now it works.
I have a question when you add life360: and restart home assistant. Does it install any package ? If yes, it might explain that I got any kind of internet issue that has cause the issue.
Anyway thank you guys (@pnbruckner and @atomicpapa) for your answer and the time that you have spent to help me
The standard life360 integration does use a newer version of the life360 pypi.org package, so at some point after upgrading to 0.95+ HA will attempt to install it. It probably will only do that when it sees you’re using the integration, which will be when you put life360: in your config, or you add your Life360 account via the Integrations page in the UI.
I can see that Life360 thinks you’re in the Life360 Place named Home, but are those GPS coordinates inside Home Assistant’szone.home? That’s what determines the state of the device_tracker.
In all the recent testing I’ve been doing, I did see this sort of thing once. If I looked on the map, my icon was clearly inside HA’s zone.home. Yet the state of the device_tracker was not home (which is why, of course, I could still see my icon on the map. Normally the icon for a tracker that is home doesn’t appear on the map.) So I restarted HA and the state was properly set to home. I have not seen this happen again.
FWIW, life360 is just reporting GPS coordinates. It’s the device_tracker component level code that’s determining the state. So, not sure why this might happen, but I can’t see how it could be life360’s fault. It might be, but I just can’t imagine how it could be.
