[CyberRad]

New user here. So far everything that I have attempted has been working without an issue. If there is anything you need to aid in the development of this plugin please let me know and I will provide it.

It's been quiet in here... everything working ok?

All working great here John. Waiting for next update or better yet in beta.

I have Submitted to the store.

For all of you that have tested and helped make this Plugin many thanks and appreciation goes out to all of you.

I am wondering if the latest update still recognizes the AWAY place. Before the latest update I used Away in my events.

If person location was home and becomes away then speak something. The event no longer speaks when someone enters or leaves a zone.

Anybody else seeing this? Should 'In Transit' be used instead?

In the status graphics for location the Away shows as Status and all other zones show as Both. thanks

Any idea how long it should take to be released?

Interesting. The away is hard coded to not be updated by Life360 as it's the one that should also be the same. I left it as a "Status Only" device but it still has states and should be able to be used in events.

The "Not Equal to Home" should work for initial leaving of home.

It should be soon. I pulled it from the process to update the version number to be in the store. It will have a shiny 1.0 version entering the store

I have a virtual device for myself that is set to home and away according.

I always have one for my wife that does the same thing.

I then have virtual device for Home with the same functions.

An event triggers each device to be Away when Life360 reports Away.

Both individual events change fine however my home event does.

The logic is if Maxx is Away and Angela is Away set Home to away. I feel like I am missing something but cant figure it out.

I had a similar event that covers two people. I found it takes two conditions.

if john changes and becomes away
and erin is equal to away

or if erin changes and becomes away
and john is equal to away

then set Home away

Both virtual devices are not going to change at exactly the same time. So there has to be a trigger to start the event processing. Something has to change to start things and the other condition has to already be true for it to process.

I have submitted version 1.1.4.64 to the HS Store. I have emailed them to let them know it's pending so I don't think it will take more than a couple of days.

That makes sense...Ill give it a go.

==BUG FOUND==

I found a Linux related bug in the latest version that is posted. I have fixed the bug but I'm in the middle of migrating my primary system. I'll try to get a release posted later.

This bug effects Linux Only and is an exception on the Updating of Places. It doesn't seem to affect anything other than the places updates.
