Life360 nodes for node-red
Description
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)
Fork
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:
- Circle: Selected or any
- Person: Selected, any, first, or last
- Place: Selected or any
- Event type: 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
