Noticed when we got home last night our outside lights were not on, but we have an automation to turn them on if we’re gone after dark. Meant to check why, but forgot.

Logged into the companion app this morning to manually toggle a switch and saw Life360 integration was not connected and “requires reconfiguration”

reentering my password and trying to log in is not working. I tried removing and re-adding the integration but the problem remains. Now I cannot re-add the integration as it will not sign in.

Anyone else experiencing this?

    I came to say exactly what OP is saying. For your parents phones you just have to go in to their setting and turn the random Mac address off (for your WiFi) then if you go into the Known Devices yaml you can search for their (real) Mac addresses and rename the tracker to “Mums phone”

    Then you can fire automations based on the presence of that device on your WiFi.

    Bonus point is you can then have your Guest Mode trigger when your parents show up too, based off their Mac address. If you do this for all your friends that regularly show up you can have an automated Guest Mode.

    Saying this as someone who used to use Life360, but it was a bit flaky and they are selling user data, so I switched to just the HA app and trackers

      I’ll definitely keep this in mind… They (some HA devs figured out a fix for life360) so with a small change to one file it’s back up. I should probably migrate off, 360 but the whole circle uses.l if for life 360 stuff.

      Thanks!
