Take a look at this thread.
I think it’s for iOS only, and the app is no longer supported by the developer. But it works pretty well, for now at least.
Found it for android but it doesn't work at all. The geofencing is broken.
Bummer. Could be just a matter of time before it breaks on iOS too, I’m sure.
Hopefully the HE app is released before then.

I wonder why presence apps are such a big problem not just with HE but also with ST. It's not like Geofencing just came out yesterday.
Strange..it worked when I tested it a few weeks ago. Where did you download it from?
I think the main issue has to do with balancing accuracy/update frequency with limited battery life.

I downloaded Locative from the google apps store.
When I tried to set my first geofence all I got was a blank google map.
I feel like I'm in an alternate universe.
When I first looked for it in the app store, it wasn't there and I was told it was pulled. I actually got it from someone who had the apk saved.
Now I'm not sure if it was readded to the store or if I didn't search for it correctly. Strange...
Yeah, I saw it in the store. Looking at the "updated on' date, it looks like it was republished on the 13th. I'm pretty sure it wasn't there when I searched for it a while back.
It doesn't work on Android 9 for sure. Tried it on a few phones.
Back on the original topic... I would just like it if HE would stop wiping out my Life360 config... That would be a great start.
Pretty sure it's going to be our fault for using it judging by the reactions.
I got Locative working with Maker API
I had all my settings wiped in the Life360 app around 4 builds ago. Everything has been hunky dory since. I know this doesn't help anybody but I think this shows that this is a pretty random issue.
I had this happen once as well.
One thing I noticed is that Life360 is very finicky when anything changes on the account. For instance, my wife turned on power save mode on her Note 8 and the Life360 started generating errors and stopped registering presence for BOTH our devices.
I wiped and reconfigured my Note 8 and never reinstalled Life360 and the HE app started generating errors and stopped registering presence for BOTH our devices.
It seems like if the L360 service cannot properly communicate with any of it devices, even temporarily, it flakes out in the HE app. Maybe something to look into @patrick.
That's why Android users need another/better location option... We can't use locative like iOS users, as the Google maps potion to set boundaries doesn't work.
Have any of you tried tasker for location? Tasker and the auto location plugin work nicely for me.

Tasker has been very delayed for me unfortunately. Probably a config setting but I just didnt have the time to investigate.
Interesting. How do you use Tasker to change something on hubitat, though? IFTTT?
