Question on Life360 Integration and other Geofencing Apps

As far as privacy, that's a philosophical discussion not technical. The fact that you have a cell phone your privacy has already been compromised.

I don't think it's that much of a philosophical question when I can look in the app and see exactly where my wife is and vice versa, that's a no-go. I just want home/away. From my understanding the only way for life360 can share location with the hub is to also let the precise location be visible to everyone in the circle or linked to the account. Like I said, if it's possible to have multiple instancesn of the hubitat connector app or multiple life360 accounts in hubitat where the apps don't have to have multiple people that's different.

There are definitely settings on the Android side that you might be missing. You must go into the advanced settings on the application to permissions and location; select allow all the time. In addition to that, under battery details you'll have to select unrestricted. This should resolve those issues.
I have tested and used Webcore and this does work even after a reboot of the phone and the Hub.

I've already done the "all the time" location (OwnTracks doesn't have the option). I will double check battery settings.
