[RELEASE] Life360+

just a quick heads-up -- I'm testing a new feature of this app that will speed up (or slow down) the refresh rate when one of the Life360 devices are moving.

Today, the app will refresh the user's device state (ie: poll Life360 API) every 30 seconds.

What I'm doing is -- when 1 or more of the Life360 devices has moved, I'll do the next refresh 15 seconds later instead of 30. If the user continues to move I'll lower it to 10 seconds. If the user stops moving it'll go back down to 15 for the next refresh and then back to 30 again.

I made it a setting though so you don't have to use it if you don't see the need.

My goal is to mimic (as close as I can anyway) users actively moving in my dashboard app. Of course it'd also apply to the html tile that others display so it'd have the same benefit

It's not updated yet -- I'm going to make sure it's well tested first so I don't have to push out needless updates. If you have any thoughts on it let me know.
