[APP][Pro] Life360 for Homey

:compass: Update 1.4.0

New test version!


New

:satellite_antenna: Location Sharing Status: Life360 features.shareLocation is now processed separately so location sharing can be distinguished from connection and GPS freshness.

:satellite: Stale Location Detection: GPS locations are marked as stale after 5 minutes by default, with a configurable threshold between 2 and 10 minutes.

:automobile: Configurable Driving Threshold: Added an optional driving threshold. Setting it to 0 uses Life360 isDriving, while higher values can determine driving based on speed.

:bullseye:Configurable GPS Accuracy Filter: Added a configurable maximum GPS accuracy threshold with a default of 100 meters.

:bar_chart: Extended Data Health Diagnostics: Diagnostics now track API checks, GPS age, charging source, unchanged charging duration, location sharing and connection status.

Improvement

:bullseye: Correct GPS Accuracy: Life360 GPS accuracy is now correctly converted from feet to meters.

:green_circle: Improved Online Status Handling: A stale GPS timestamp no longer automatically means that a member’s location is not updating.

:round_pushpin: Separate Location States: shareLocation=false now shows Location Sharing Disabled, while a Life360 disconnected state or 0% battery shows Not Connected.

:link: Connected Members Stay Online: When connected=true and shareLocation=true, the member remains online even when the GPS timestamp is older than the configured stale threshold.

:mobile_phone_with_arrow: Faster Recovery After Life360 Opens: As soon as Life360 provides new coordinates after the mobile app is opened, Homey processes them on the next polling cycle.

:puzzle_piece: Improved Life360 Issue Handling: issues.title and issues.dialog are processed to improve status detection, while their contents are never written to diagnostics.

:house: Complete Address Handling: address1 and address2 are now combined for more complete address information in Homey.

:shield: GPS Quality Protection: GPS updates that exceed the configured maximum accuracy are rejected for location-related changes.

:round_pushpin: Safe Place and Route Handling: Rejected inaccurate GPS updates no longer cause place changes, route changes or incorrect location-state transitions.

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Faster Manual Location Refresh: The manual Update location action performs an initial refresh after approximately 1 second and continues checking every 5 seconds for about one minute.

:brain: Older GPS Update Protection: GPS updates with a timestamp older than the currently accepted location are now rejected.

:world_map: Improved Stale Map Display: Stale member markers are displayed more transparently, show the GPS age and no longer display a current GPS accuracy circle.

:battery: Adaptive Battery Percentage Text: Written battery percentages are now black in light mode and white in dark mode across widgets and pop-ups.

:electric_plug: Improved Charging Diagnostics: Life360 charge remains the primary charging-status source, while long periods without a charging-state change are now tracked diagnostically.

:locked_with_key: Privacy-Safe Diagnostics: Address, locality and other location-sensitive information remain protected and are never exposed in diagnostics.

:wrench: Under-the-Hood Enhancements: In this version of Life360, we’ve made some minor improvements to enhance overall performance and logging for user experience. We’re continuously working behind the scenes to fine-tune the app for the best possible user experience. Your feedback is invaluable! If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, feel free to reach out through our support channels.

:glowing_star: Enjoy the latest version of Life360 App with small improvements under the hood, ensuring a smoother experience for all users! :rocket:
