Custom sensor data

SJ10 months ago

Hi all, currently i have one unit of JIMIIOT VL802 connected to Traccar via port 5023 using GT06 protocol. From the portal, I can see the SOS and Vibration alarm, as well as the ignition station and battery status. However, I want to use the external sensor to detect open and close switch, I want to know how can I know is the data is received on the traccar server?

Currently I can see the log from the traccar portal, but I am not sure how do I troubleshoot or find out what kind of data is being receive? Appreciate if anyone can give some advice on this. Thank you very much!

You would need the protocol documentation. Then based on that you can decode HEX data and see what's included.

OK Tq Anton, means I will only receive HEX code from the device and to know what is being receive I will have to have the communication protocol documentation.

Thank you for your input, will look for the documentation. Tqvm

If you don't already see it in Traccar, then yes, you have to look at the raw data to see if it's present.
