      There are a few ways to integrate live phone tracking into MagicMirror:

      Life360 Integration:
      Life360 provides real-time location data via its API. While there’s no official MagicMirror module, a few users have created custom modules using their API tokens. You’d need a bit of coding, but it’s doable. Check out Life360’s developer docs and look into how to fetch JSON data into a MagicMirror module.

      Google Maps:
      You can use Google Maps’ “Share Location” feature and embed a shared map via iframe in a MagicMirror iFrame module. It won’t show real-time movement but will update locations as they refresh.

      Custom GPS Tracker Apps:
      Some people use GPS tracker apps (like “GPSWOX” or “Traccar”) that feed live data to a server. From there, you can write a script or small module to read and display that data on the mirror.

      As a parent myself, I totally get the importance of this feature—it’s a great idea for the dashboard.

        Where do you find the UNOFFICIAL modules for Life360?

        Slow learner. But trying anyways.
