Life360: Feature Request: Temp Geofence
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2023 7:33 pm
Trying to wrap my head around a way to make a temporary geofence on the fly. Like a one button solution.
Example use:
Kid1 gets dropped off at a friend's house for a playdate. Press an indigo button to run an action. Action creates a temporary geofence that has triggers and notifications already associated. If Kid1 travels XX distance from the temporary location (friend's house) then a nofication action is triggered.
Another similar but different problem.... (One which I have no idea how to implement)
Link two or more devices on the fly. A couple use cases for this:
1) Family outing.... press a button that links two or more devices (which means there would have to be a selection process of some sort or multiple pre-created actions grouping devices)
run the action and now if those two devices travel too far from each other, a notification is sent.
2) Traveling with two devices (ie, work phone and personal phone). Link the two while you are out, so if one device mistakenly gets left behind in your hotel room or in the rental car, you will get a notification that the devices have become separated.
