Interesting. Min has been rock solid for quite some time.

Mine disappear from time to time as well, Bobby from Support said they were able to reproduce the issue and were working on a fix.... that was 5-6 weeks ago

Hi @bobbyD
Any more information on this issue?

Been watching this for a little while.
Life360 to stopped once recently for me too.
Running through the configuration again fixed so I haven't reached out to support since it's only been the once.

My Life360 has been pretty solid until recently as well. I set up a bunch of items to force a refresh before I open the front door but the issue always appears to happen again.

Today I walked into my home to get bombarded with intrusion alerts again. This time (thanks to past logs) I was able to see an error in my logs. Opening the Connector app and hitting done caused a refresh without the error. Hopefully this us helpful to @mike.maxwell and team to narrow down the issue. See below.

Did one of your members disable location tracking in their life 360 app?

There's still open spots for eval on the system I'm launching :slight_smile: And I have validated it works with Hubitat with the Maker API with the Cloud end point. Just have to use a VS on/off home/away :sunny: yes it's a shameless plug! :smile:

Nope.

I had the same problem happen today too - the configuration was empty. Never happened before, it's been solid for well over a month before today.

On a more relevant note there's been issues from the HomeSeer crowd with Life360 as well which leads me to think it's a Life360 issue.

However that does not explain the information from within Hubitat vanishing for some people?

Although Life360 continues to be trouble free for me, my Ecobee integration seemed to lose it's configuration last night in the same way. This happened once before, about a week after the Ecobee integration was released.

I've been keeping a little bit of an eye on my logs as of late. At some point recently (not sure if it's yesterdays update, today's hotfix, or just the random breaking of the app) the log started spewing this out:

Error:[errorMessage:Not Found, url:/v3/circles//webhook.json, status:404]

I do have a trigger that pokes the Life360 refresh button every minute.

The App config page says the Login is "OK", but the circle information is blank.
I selected my circle, place, and people again and is started working again.
No more errors.
More information for the issue.

Hopefully the Hubitat app comes soon.
Might try Homebridge iOS location soon...

Every minute???!!! Wow, that seems a bit excessive. I issue a refresh when either garage door opens, and that seems like a bit of overkill to me. :slight_smile:

Yeah I've got it on front door open as well. Maybe I'll just leave that. Life360 died again tonight. Going to try iOS homebridge location over the weekend. Or tonight :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I must agree, one minute is not doing your hub any favors... I've been closely watching life360 over the past two weeks via a dashboard i setup. I don't run refresh at all on it. In the past two weeks it's only lost one event for me, however the other three circle members updated correctly whilst I was stuck away.

Life360 was good for the first week or so but I started to notice what others I think are noticing.
I said to myself this is a local hub it can handle it, not realizing that I was talking about a cloud service.
I'm done with it and that trigger now.
We'll see how Apple Home location performs writing to a virtual presence sensor's switch.

Until the glorious official Hubitat app comes out...

Settings gone again today

@bobbyD anything on this yet?

I run a RM rule to refresh Life360 with the Life360 button device that was created every 4 hours.

After failing to get iOS geofencing working with homebridge I re-setup life360. It's been working for over a week...
