node-red-contrib-life360

Life360 is an iOS/Android app for location tracking and geofencing your own (and friends'/family) location. It has a multitude of features, but this repo is explicitly for triggering home automations in Node Red. It mimmicks the triggers available in the IFTTT Life360 service by providing triggers for:

• First to arrive
• Last to leave

This package adds 2 nodes to Node Red:

• Server node (which contains login credentials and communicates with Life360)
• Location node (which contains the rules for specifying the types of events to output)

This package is a fork of the package: node-red-contrib-life (version 0.1.4)

It fixes the following bugs:

• The output-at-startup checkbox (previously only applied to the first person in the first circle and now applies to all/circles & people).
• Spurious location-change events due to the processing of multiple circles is fixed. Locations are now tracked by circle.
• Clear the timer when node is destroyed or recreated. Fixes #1, PR #5.
• Correctly handle errors from life360. PR #6.

It adds the following filters for location change events:

• Selected (or any) circle
• Selected, any, first, or last person
• Selected or any place
• Event type selection: arrive, leave, or either

Examples of location change events to monitor:

• A specific person leaves or arrives at a specific (or any) place
• Any person (in a Life360 "circle") leaves or arrives at a specific (or any) place
• First person (in a Life360 "circle") arrives at a specific place
• Last person (in a Life360 "circle") leaves a specific place
• Any person in any circle leaves/arrives at a specific (or any) place
