LOL! Yes, it’s been around longer than the Life360 integration. It’s pretty old (it’s a “legacy” device tracker), is in serious need of some upgrades, but I’ve been using it a very long time and it “just works”.

Yes, as many people have been saying in multiple topics on this forum (including this one, just above), in HA issues, and probably on discord and elsewhere, the integration is broken again.
This time there is no clear fix, and it may be likely there never will be. Only time will tell. Currently there is no fix “in the works.”
For some reason its back to working, There’s some kind of Tom foolery going on. lol
Well isn’t that a kick in the pants?!
EDIT: Oh well, doesn’t work for me.

It’s was showing family members even before I “reconfigured” which went through with no issues. So weird.
Meh, just logged out of the official app and tried to log back in again:
Something went wrong, please try again later
Reckon they’ve buggered something up. I’m off to bed and hopefully they’ll have fixed it by the morning
I had that issue a couple of days ago. a re-install of the app fixed that issue for me.
That doesn’t appear to resolve this issue now. It simply denies any login credentials.
Thank you for all of your time and effort in this integration. I had been using it since way back when. While I hope Life 360 will come around, I’m not going to hold my breath. Thank you again for your time. It was extremely reliable and an important part of a lot of our setups.

So, what does life look like after Life360? What are people switching to?
My main issue is I have locked all my services (HA for example) behind Wireguard. Now, I could have WG active on my wifes phone, which solves the HomeAssistant Client problem, but is it as reliable as Life360?
[Feel free to advise I move this to a separate thread if its not the correct topic area]

There are at least these topics you might check out:
And I’m sure there are several other “Life360 stopped working” topics where it is being discussed as well.
I only need to know if people are home or away so I have moved to using the ASUSWRT integration that reads data from my ASUS router and can create device trackers for any WIFI device. So presence now based on if family members phones are connected to WiFi or not.

I’ve just migrated from Life360 in HA to Apple iCloud integration for presence detection. Took all of 15 mins to setup and re-map devices.
What is this exactly? Is it HA integration?
That’s a brilliant idea. Need to check this out
Is it any different from HA mobile app
Can it be considered as a redundancy?
We both (wife and I) use the HA app. It’s configured to point to our internal HA IP address. I access ha (and everything else) via a Wireguard tunnel when out and about
It’s rare this is enabled all the time
The HA app therefore doesn’t know I left home and always reports ‘at home’
If there was a way to configure it to detect a WiFi detach and report ‘away’ then it’s job done! But this would need to be initiated and polled from the HA instance side
edit – I note the person entity doesn’t register when a phone device goes ‘dark’. Is there a way to add a ‘device_wifi_connected’ method to the person entity? This would involve a ping every minute to check I guess.
There may be a way to do this from uptime kuma… Need to fiddle tomorrow
Still think it would be great if there was a monitor only mode for the mobile app in cases where we want to monitor all the aspects of an android/ios device whether its location, battery,etc… without having it be the full app with access to dashboards.
