[simonselmer (Simon)]

As I dont find my mobile phone as reliable presence sensor I want to use Life360, but I cannot find any useful thread explaining the best way to use Life360 as a presence sensor?
Anyone can help out?
Much appreciated

I used the
smartthings : Life360 (Connect) smartapp and the smartthings : Life360 User device handler.
If you search the forum you should find them.

Likwise… Had this setup well over a year now. Darn if I remember how I installed it though.

Life360 (Connect) Working in the UK

Hi, just a quick note for any like me who wanted to use life360 (connect) in the UK, but was getting an Access Denied Error I got this working by copying the source for the device type and creating a new device type from code Life 360 User and creating a smartapp in the IDE from code Life 360 Connect I enabled OAuth in the App under SmartApp Settings and entered my username in the clientId field, my password in the Client Secret field and entered https://graph-eu01-euwest1.api.smartthings.com in the Server URL field. I then chose in the Mobile app to add the Life 360 Connect from the My Apps section and then entered my Username and password again and this time the pairing succeded and i can use life 360 for presence which works so much better and reliable than the smartth…

This might help. (It’s an official integration, so support can help you if you get stuck.)

Connecting Life360 with SmartThings

edited to update I didn’t realize that you were not in the US. I have changed the topic title to reflect that so you get more helpful answers.

Is their geolocation better than ifttt’s? I tried ifttt with the two teens at home (android and ios) and it wasn’t very reliable.

Thanks for the linkes to the DH and SmartApp.
I wasn’t sure if the best way would by through DH and SmartApp OR through IFTTT whish I couldn’t quite figure out how to use as presence sensor.

JDRoberts, I have seen that help-page some times now yes, but I (we in Europe perhaps) doesn’t have the Social category as described there.
I believe I have be through all the categories to find the official SmartApp for Life360 but I dont have it.

So I will give the DH and Custom SmartApp a try, thanks in advance to you all
