Minifinder and battery level notification

Pekka4 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Traccar to send notification to REST API endpoint when my Minifinder's battery level is low. I believe that the device is able to send the alarm since I'm getting them via SMS.

Here's what I've done so far:

  1. Enabled events and events forwarding and defined REST API endpoint in traccar.xml:
    and define REST API endpoint
<entry key='event.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='event.forward.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='event.forward.url'>http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:xxxx/xxxx</entry>
  1. Enabled notifications from Traccar web app:
    Cogwheel menu -> notifications -> alerts (Low battery, Low power)

  2. Enabled also geofence notifications:
    Cogwheel menu -> notifications -> geofence exit, geofence enter

I'm getting events from geofence exits and enters as expected. I'm also getting events when device goes online and offline. But I'm not seeing alerts on low battery. Have I missed something? Or could it be the case that Minifinder cannot send battery level warning?

Regards,
Pekka

It could be the case. You should probably check logs and protocol documentation.

According to documentation there is a flag for low battery level: https://issuu.com/gpsr/docs/minifinder_pico_protocol_1.27

Alarm for "lowBattery" can be seen in web app but I'm not seeing anything in logs.
