SmartThings Success: Multiple Life360 Devices and Automation Insights

Wow, what a fantastic day! I managed to integrate multiple Life360 devices into my SmartThings setup, and it’s working like a charm. For those curious, here’s a quick rundown of my journey:

I started by diving into the SmartThingsPublic GitHub repository, where I found the Life360 smart app and device handler. After downloading, I made a few tweaks to the namespace to avoid any potential conflicts—though I’m not entirely sure if that was necessary. For fun, I renamed all instances of “360” to “720” in the code, just to keep things clear in the logs.

The setup process was surprisingly smooth. I dropped the modified files into the IDE, saved, published, and enabled OAuth. Voilà! I now have three Life360 devices active on my account—two for my girlfriend (one for work and one for home) and one for me. Since I work from home, this setup is perfect, but if I were out more, I’d probably need a third instance—Life1080, anyone? :smile:

I also stumbled upon some interesting automation ideas while exploring the community. For instance, integrating motion sensors with lighting and color changes based on activity. It’s amazing how SmartThings can turn everyday tasks into seamless experiences.

If you’re looking to try this yourself, I recommend checking out the official SmartThings GitHub repositories for the device handlers and smart apps. Just remember to review the licensing agreements before making any modifications.

Happy automating! :rocket:
