I have found using a combination of things works best. I use the HE app presence, WIFI presence and the Alexa app. There is a combined presence app that will let you set different things up but I did it on my own in RM. For me the Alexa app is the most reliable, but it will occasionally miss, but when it does the HE app will usually work. Wifi presence isn't much good for when you leave but it never misses for when you get home.
So try adding a backup for your life360 for those occasional hiccups, although it sounds like the refresh will probably be a big help.
