Device ID

Hi Anton,

With regards to the Device ID, is it randomly populated each time the app is installed or is it the actual original ID of the device?

Thanks

are you talking about android client app unique id ?

It is randomly generated first time you start the app after installation or clean-up.

You can also set your own unique id if you use your own server.
If you are using demo.traccar.org server then you have to use the random generated number

please can I get the difference between - id, uniqueId, deviceId

id - is the serial number that I have used
uniqueId - is the IMEI
deviceId - (I am unable to undrstand)

I am trying to update the distance on a specific IMEI
"Update total distance and hours of the Device " (https://www.traccar.org/api-reference/#tag/Devices/paths/~1devices~1{id}~1accumulators/put)

Please advise.

id and deviceId are the same things. It's internal device identifier.

while doing it on Postman I am encountering an error -
"IllegalArgumentException (DeviceManager:466 < DeviceResource:95 < ...)"

the URL I used is - PUT - http://{host}:{port}/api/devices/20/accumulators
where ID is 20
The body has -
{
"deviceId": 20,
"totalDistance": 0,
"hours": 0
}

Check what the official web app sends and compare with your request.
