Enhancement Suggestion 3.1 server (Android client) Command support

Dear Anton,

One thought, I am using Gt06n and you have enabled command option for (Tracking devices.)

Wouldn't it be a good idea to support Commands for (Mobile Clients as well.), if the protocol used supports.

Scenario's where it can help.

  • User with large number of mobile devices with client installed.
  • Scenario where frequency was set to low (lets say 1 per hour) and suddenly user wants to know his mobiles location more frequent (probably got stollen). In that case he can send a command change frequency etc.

Unfortunately new protocol used by Traccar Client is based on HTTP, so it doesn't support messaging from server to client.

I believe this protocol responds back with an acknowledgement right?

Maybe in the near feature if Protocol permits, you can keep this is a possibility (Commands need not be real-time in this particular scenario).

Instead, Whenever the Location update is (Pushed by client to server) along with the acknowledgement if a flag is returned true that a command has been initiated. then the app can query another probably api to retrieve new configurations etc.

I am not a programmer, Still I am trying to implement something like this into the android client now :) just for R&D Purpose.

Yes, it should be possible to send something back with the acknowledgement message.
