    Life360 Upgrade Path

    I'm starting the planning for plugin updates. With these updates I'm going to be redoing the devices and how they are structured. This leads to the following options
    1. Plugin re-write keeping the same name/license and you must redo your events as the devices will be recreated
    2. New plugin name/license. Can be installed in parallel but it is a new license so you must pay for it.

    Weigh in on your preference so I can gather input to aid in planning for development.

    I just purchased this yesterday. Should I have waited?

      No wait is needed. However I would advise to document your events as depending on the direction you may have to recreate them.

      The goals is a massive cleanup over haul of the plugin to make it possible to add new features. I'd rather do the re-write keeping the same name/license and NOT require anyone to pay for a new version. However if there's an uproar of people not wanting their events to be destroyed and wanting a new version instead???

        I'd take re-creating over re-purchasing.

            That is the plan... but there are two approaches. One requires you to re-create your events because the devices will change. The other will require a new purchase.... which one is what I'm looking for peoples input on.

                  New fresh air is coming from the plugins authors all over the bord. That nice to see
                  Will likely wait to buy this plugin after the rewrite, as a backup option to geophency. Icloud can’t be stable with 2fa.

                      Definitely don't ask people to pay a 2nd time. That's nuts.

                      And while you're at it, please use the Device Type a little more sparingly so my list isn't full of Life 360 <person> <type> entries! Was just coming on here to ask for that and came across this thread... Personally I'd rather it just be "Life 360 Plugin" as the device type, but could see an argument for "Life 360 <type>" if you had a lot of people in your circles and wanted to just see the location devices, for example.

                        Oh darn I was going to add a another 100 or so to the Device Types.... booo

                        I'm asking for people's preference because it's not up to me. Keep the "Name" keeps the "License" if I change the name then that's a new license. I checked with HST before coming and asking...

                        Speaking of circles that's in the plans to add support for as well...

                          Just jumping in here to see how work is coming on Life360v2? I've been having issues with the current version disconnecting for no apparent reason. Debug logging gave me no insights, but before going on a long bug hunt, I thought I'd see if there was a beta in our near future.

                            Define "disconnecting"? Disconnecting from what?
