Life360+

How to setup Life360+ Hubitat App

Description

Life360+ is a Hubitat app which will create Hubitat devices for every Life360 member you want to view location for. More details are available on the Hubitat support page here

Installation

Install Life360+ via Hubitat Package Manager (HPM)

Configuration

Because of changes to Life360's login flow, you'll need to get your own access token. This is the complicated part but I'll try to describe how I got mine step by step.

  • Open a browser to https://life360.com/login on your computer (using Chrome/Brave as an example)

  • Open the developer tools sidebar

  • Select the Network tab in developer tools sidebar

  • Login to Life360 using your phone number (NOTE: this has only been tested using phone numbers, not email/password which Life360 is phasing out)

  • If you can't login, try disabling your ad-blockers. I'm using Brave and I had to disable both the internal blockers as well as uBlock Origin add-on for the login to work

  • Once logged in, click on the little search icon in developer tools sidebar and search for "access_token". You should see a result similar to below:

  • Copy the value of access_token. This is what you're going to enter in the Life360+ app

  • Add the Life360+ app to Hubitat and open it

  • Enter the access token and hit the save icon

  • You should see more options displayed once the access token is set

  • Hit Fetch Circles and select your primary circle

  • Hit Fetch Places and select the place which correpsonds to your home (used to set the child devices as home or away)

  • Hit Fetch Members and select all members you want to track

  • When you hit DONE, child devices will be created matching the members you created

NOTE: The credit for this belongs here -- I'm just simplifying the steps
