Moved to 0.95, now life360 doesn't work

Configuration
21

Just make sure you have the ssh addon installed otherwise you won’t be able to restart it when you stop it… so Phil’s advice to remove the custom integration, restart and then install the core component is probably the easiest way to go.

The issue is Hassio, not Rpi. I used a venv install on my Rpi (before moving to a beefier x86 system.)

Thanks @DavidFW1960, this is what I suspected, if i use “Stop” from the web interface then I cannot restart from the same web interface. SSH or unplug the Rpi would be the only way to restart it, correct ?

I am running Hassio on an Ubuntu server and I did not have to stop HA before I deleted the custom config. I made the needed config changes, changed the name of the config/custom_components/life360 folder to config/custom_components/life360bak, and restarted HA. Everything came up fine on the first restart.

My config, if it helps or even matters :slight_smile:

life360:
  accounts:
    username: !secret life360_username
    password: !secret life360_password
  prefix: ''
  interval_seconds: 10
  show_as_state: 
    - driving
    - moving
  driving_speed: 18
  max_gps_accuracy: 200
  max_update_wait:
    minutes: 45

yep. that’s it… That’s assuming you’re running hassio of course…

26

Yes, correct, a different set of instructions -which you already gave up in this thread- for Hassio users.

27

You were absolutely right, darned, when you stare too much at it, you miss the obvious!
Thankyou very much @pnbruckner for the software, both before and now, this is very very nice, and for us an essential part of the HA experience!

@nickrout is that really necessary? Is it helpfull? Come on, relax, be happy, as you usually are :wink:

Thanks. I wasn’t absolutely sure what would happen if you deleted <config>/custom_components/life360 while HA was running and using those files. At the very least I assumed it might need the cache files in the __pycache__ sub-folder. So maybe two restarts aren’t required, but with an abundance of caution, I’d rather be safe than sorry. :slight_smile:

Success in transitioning from custom component to integration on my RPi/Hassio using instructions provided by @pnbruckner in this post : Life360 Device Tracker Platform

Thanks Phil !

Arrggghhh I dunno, I think I had just looked at or helped with too many posts where reading the docs would have solved the problem. But you are right, happy is better.
