Import multiple devices
It looks more logical to use Auto register.
database.registerUnknown config
Automatically register unknown devices in the database.
database.registerUnknown.defaultCategory config
Default category for auto-registered devices.
database.registerUnknown.defaultGroupId config
The group id assigned to auto-registered devices.
Never thought about it. It's working
Thanks
It looks more logical to use Auto register.
This useful, when your devices will send something to server. I want to make marks on map, that don't have any device, but have name and coordinates. So, is it possible to import some list?
It's not possible to show markers without having devices, but it's possible to auto-register devices, as discussed above.
I'm using self-hosted server and exploring the base. As i can see, i need to create a device and only one event with coordinates to mark anything somewhere.
If there is no tool to export, i can just prepare two files where tc_devices.id=tc_positions.deviceid and feed them to SQL-manager. This won't work?
I would not recommend changing the database directly.
OK. I'll save it for a last resort. I'm not good at programming at all. Can you recommend some tool to add goup of devices via API?
ChatGPT?
Just watching API. It won't help because there is no command to add coordinates, am I right? Only to get coordinates from server.
So, I tried to add a device. It was a little tricky. I had to make a device in tc_devices, then add an event to tc_positions with the same id of device, get id of that event and write it to tc_devices.positionid. And i forgot about users, need to add new device to tc_user_device. And restart the server. Well, it works.
I think, i should stop Traccar server to prevent creating new events, when i will add multiple devices.
Did you try this? Change lat and Lang manually
http://yourserver:5055/?id=12345&lat=47.99822&lon=-85.679868@GPS-911, No, I didnt.
It works, new devices added. But don't allowed to user. Is it set in "database.registerUnknown.defaultCategory"? Is it possible to send a name too via http-request?
@GPS-911, or you mean, that i can make devices via datadbase and then send coordinates in such way? Thank you! I think, that will helps.
Is there a working example such as mysqlfump for importing multiple devices from Excel file? Excel file would have Id and name. Traccar API looks complicated.
